Bach: Brandenburg Concertos

Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra; Chailly

In 2010, Maestro Riccardo Chailly recorded Johann Sebastian Bach for Decca for the very first time with 3 releases. Having conducted the illustrious Gewandhaus Orchestra since 1986, this esteemed conductor's association with Leipzig is but one year less than Bach's. Chailly's profound musicality illuminates three of Bach's large-scale masterpieces: The St Matthew Passion, the Brandenburg Concertos and the Christmas Oratorio.

Played on modern instruments, Chailly's Bach beautifully demonstrates that vivid, styllistically aware performance is not the exclusive preserve of period instrument ensembles. The first release from this trilogy, the Brandenburg Concertos, showcases the Orchestra's expert soloists. Collectively, they celebrate the orchestra's renaissance under its charismatic Italian music director.

Press Reviews

Collectors Reviews

The sound of modern instruments now seems strange to ears used to period ones, but Chailly and the Leipzigers have taken on board the stylistic findings of the period movement — these are fleet, enjoyable accounts, with virtuoso playing of the solo parts, especially the outstanding trumpeter Julian Sommerhalder in No 2, and Cornelia Grohmann (flute), Sebastian Breuninger (violin) and Michael Schönheit (harpsichord) in No 5.

The Sunday Times

On the surface, the Leipzig Chailly is something of a classicist himself. He has made highly regarded recordings of Brahms, Schumann and Mendelssohn with the Gewandhaus, and he has now turned to Bach. A rippingly good recording of the Brandenburg Concertos has just been released...
