Editorial Reviews

In the Baroque period, there really was no such thing as an "orchestra" as we understand the term today. There were large collections of singers and players brought together for special occasions, but aside from those, an "orchestral" work was anything that required more than five or six players. Bach's harpsichord concertos, for example, can be performed by a couple of dozen string players plus the soloist, or with an accompaniment of one person per part, which is more or less what we get here. These small forces permit an unprecedented transparency of sound and sharpness of attack, even if some weight and body of tone necessarily get sacrificed. It's a perfectly legitimate way to play the music, however, and you won't find it better done than here. --David Hurwitz

    Live performances from Edwin Fischer's final decade of concerts feature him as soloist, chamber musician, and conductor. Fischer's rare interpretive insights can best be heard in his exalted slow movement of Brahms's Sonata No. 3, earning appreciative applause from the knowledgeable audience. The set includes inevitable finger slips and wrong notes, inconsequential byproducts of his striving for artistic integrity. More important, his unerring sense of tempo conveys the heart of the music. Slow movements are soulful but liquid. Drama is always present, allied to a gorgeous tone. His reputation for seriousness doesn't prevent a romp through the Rondo of Beethoven's Concerto No. 1 or the beautifully phrased, long-breathed lyricism of the Romance movement of Mozart's 20th Concerto. Appropriately, since Fischer was an outstanding Bach interpreter, there's a lot of Bach here, including a Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 unannounced anywhere on the box, track listings, or notes. Much of the Bach on this set will sound dated and heavy to modern ears, but it's compelling nonetheless. Those who know Fischer's lofty Brahms Piano Concerto No. 2 with Furtwängler (Testament) will be surprised to hear this nearly contemporaneous, swifter, and less symphonic live version with Hans Munch. It's a highlight of a set with few duds. At six discs for the price of four, and nicely packaged in a space-saving box with good notes and variable sound (mostly vintage broadcast quality), the set is a valuable tribute to a great artist. --Dan Davis

    5 out of 5 stars A Nice Treat!.......2004-01-27

    Lively and decent performance, great selection of Bach, nice sound quality, great low CD price.

    Alerted by the previous reviewer's comments I bought this CD a week ago and have listened to it many times. I'm very happy with it. Hopefully you will, too.

    5 out of 5 stars A great bargain-priced disc!!.......2002-02-13

    Please don't be fooled by the price. Naxos and conducter Helmut Muller-Bruhl have partnered to create a beautiful disc featuring some of the best concertos composed by J. S. Bach.

    Not familiar with Muller-Bruhl? I wasn't, either. But his interpretation of Bach's BWV 1044, 1057, 1063, and 1064 is simply wonderful. This recording ranks right up there with any found on Hyperion, Virgin, Sony, etc. The Naxos label isn't flashy, but this recording is fantastic. The sound quality matches the conducting, too. If you close your eyes while listening to the disc, you'd think it was a full-priced release!

    So if you're unfamiliar with Bach's concertos, then this is a great place to start. And at under $8.00, it's hard to pass up. And if you already own these concertos on disc (either ADD or DDD), I still recommend that you give this Naxos release a try (if only to compare the quality of the two). True, sometimes recordings on Naxos sound generic and passionless, but not this time. Muller-Bruhl and his Cologne Chamber Orchestra shine throughout the recording, which can hold its own against any competitor still in print.

    4 out of 5 stars Good performances, some editting problems.......2001-04-01

    With four harpsichordists rotating to play all of Bach's extant keyboard concerti, one can be certain that the quality of each performance will be inconsistent with another. This is not to say that one performance on here is vastly superior or inferior to another; however, there are problems with this set, most of which are probably by way of after the performances--that is, by way of editting. To begin with, the very good notes contained within the set have some editting problems in themselves. But more importantly, the sound quality isn't top notched--but a lot of Vox CDs aren't known for sound quality. The triple harpsichord concerti, BWV 1064, sounds especially confusing, as though they recorded all three harpsichords on one track. The double harpsichord concerto has a minor problem where a bar in the first movement seems to be incomplete, as though the editting team had spliced some parts together and had just left out the end of the bar before the ritornello restates. Trills are also shortened there, when the score indicates otherwise. The 1056 concerto, second movement, is a bit sloppy. Notwithstanding, the 1052 concerto is thrilling, and the quadruple harpsichord concerto is considerably transparent. All in all, a set with problems, but the price is one that will compensate for the flaws.

    4 out of 5 stars Una verdadera ganga........2000-06-07

    Entre muchas de las cosas que debemos a J. S. Bach es la creación de lo que conocemos como "concierto para teclado", ya que fue él quien primeramente dió a este tipo de instrumentos un rol protagónico en una obra musical tipo concierto (el legendario Concierto de Brandemburgo No. 5); al parecer le entusiasmó tanto el potencial de esta nueva forma musical, que posteriormente escribió múltiples conciertos para 1, 2, 3 y hasta 4 clavecines, y aunque algunos son definitivamente transcripciones de obras anteriores de otros autores (sobre todo de Vivaldi), en todos ellos se nota la mano maestra de Bach. La colección del sello Vox está a cargo de intérpretes no muy conocidos (aunque en lo personal poseo una obra bastante extensa en manos de Christianne Jacottet), pero su calidad es excelente, a pesar de tratarse de grabaciones ADD. Si a ello combinamos un precio realmente sensacional por 3 discos compactos, en realidad se estará llevando una ganga con esta adquisición.

        5 out of 5 stars Great combination: Bach & oboe.......2007-07-24

        Douglas Boyd and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe are magnificent. They play with power, sensitivity, and virtuosity. The rhythms are crisp and the oboe's articulation is impressive.

        If you like Bach (and oboe) but want to hear some not-as-often heard material, this is a great addition to your collection. I don't listen to classical music that often (even though I have a lot of it), but this CD is always a joy. My favorite movement is the Presto of the second concerto (track 6) - even my non-classically minded younger sister loved it. Enjoy!

            In the Baroque period, there really was no such thing as an "orchestra" as we understand the term today. There were large collections of singers and players brought together for special occasions, but aside from those, an "orchestral" work was anything that required more than five or six players. Bach's harpsichord concertos, for example, can be performed by a couple of dozen string players plus the soloist, or with an accompaniment of one person per part, which is more or less what we get here. These small forces permit an unprecedented transparency of sound and sharpness of attack, even if some weight and body of tone necessarily get sacrificed. It's a perfectly legitimate way to play the music, however, and you won't find it better done than here. --David Hurwitz
