  It’s odd to think that the Brandenburg Concertos went from essentially being forgotten and stuffed into a junk drawer for over a century to being fired into deep space as an example of the best that humanity has to offer.

  For those who don&apos;t know about the story behind Bach&apos;s Brandenburg concertos. &nbsp;In 1721, Bach composed six “concertos for various instruments”. He dedicated them to a German nobleman and sent the manuscript as a gift, hoping to land a job as the court composer in Brandenburg. &nbsp;The nobleman never replied. Bach eventually took another job in Leipzig, where he lived for the rest of his life. &nbsp;Bach had send his original and there were no copies. &nbsp;The 6 concertos were lost for 130 years. &nbsp;They were never performed. The manuscript was eventually sold for about $20 and shelved in a library. &nbsp;The Brandenburg Concertos sat there until 1849, when they were discovered and published for the first time. &nbsp;Thank god.

  What luxurious sound! The quality of this recording is unbelievable. There does not seem to be any clipping of the frequency extremes. The performance is vigorous, lively, and unforgettable.

  These performances by the Netherlands Bach Society are the greatest renditions of Bach&apos;s music I&apos;ve ever experienced.

  @<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSZJ__GIbms&amp;t=165">2:45</a> I find that episode one of the most intriguing in the whole repertoire of Baroque music... it is the most sublime duet exchange between two solo instruments when suddenly we get a suspended note from the other soloist and suddenly the explosion of energy from the violin like we&apos;ve never heard before. Then those dissonant intervals between the recordings! Truly an exceptional composition.
