Recorded from a mid hall perspective this is as close to the sound of a live performance of these concertos that I've heard; instruments, rather than being highlighted, blend beautifully in a not too resonant acoustic (no Bathroomburg Concertos here). As is well documented elsewhere (these are reissues), performances are first class, as is the SACD remastering, and the usual high production values from Alia Vox are in full vigor; in fact they’re astonishing, considering the price (with shipping total cost was $13.50 for the 2 disc set). Surely Mr. Savall is working on the smallest profit margin in the business! Bottom line; regardless of how many Brandenburg’s you already have, do consider adding this one. The price is in the "almost a gift" category and you won't be disappointed.
