The Camerata of the 18th Century and its spiritus rector Konrad Hünteler are committed to the recovery of original sound from the forgotten musical past.
This long-awaited re-release features a masterpiece and one certainly well worth all the painstaking research that went into it: Bach's Brandenburg Concertos.
The six concerti grossi penned by Johann Sebastian Bach for Markgrave Ludwig of Brandenburg were known neither to Bach's sons Carl Philipp Emanuel and Wilhelm Friedemann nor to his biographer J. N.Forkel. They disappeared into the music archives and had to wait a hundred years for their rediscovery.
Once rediscovered, they were performed with much too much pomp and circumstance for another hundred years.
