This set of Brandenburg concerti is based upon the original Cothen edition, and not the more often recorded final version which Bach sent to the Margrave of Brandenburg in 1721.
The main difference between the two versions is that the Cothen edition, being an early draft, does not have a polonaise in the first concerto and lacks the extended solo Harpsichord cadenza in the fifth. For me, the famous virtuosic cadenza is one of the highlights of the set and its omission here should be noted and regretted.
That being said, as a rare and sterling presentation of the Cothen edition this set is of great interest.

From the first notes of the first concerto, it is easy to tell that the playing is going to sparkle. Manze and the Academy of Ancient music are on top form, enthusing the music with warm and virtuosity. The result is immensely satisfying to listen to.
There are so many good bits... but the Concerto for oboe in D minor, Op.9/2: Adagio (Track 5) is sublime. I've heard lots of recordings of this on the radio, but this is the one that stands out and makes the CD worth buying for just this 5min 30 sec! It's the smoothest, least affected version. The oboist, Frank de Bruine, manages to make the notes soar effortlessly without faltering - the result is pure relaxation to listen to.
The rest of the concertos are a delight ... Read More:
