    My absolute favorite! It rocks... with such a sense of life.



    My second choice (very different) would be:



    Incredibly polished... immaculate sound.

    Concerto Italiano and Rinaldo Alessandrini is also marvelous... very lively... Italianate. I've yet to hear Gardiner's... yet while I am a great fan of his work... especially with Bach... I doubt he tops Jordi Savall. Savall's recording of the Brandenburgs and Handel's Royal Fireworks/Water Music...



    ... completely renewed my enthusiasm for these works that I had heard a thousand times.

    Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.

    Art is never chaste. It ought to be forbidden to ignorant innocents, never allowed into contact with
    those not sufficiently prepared. Yes, art is dangerous. Where it is chaste, it is not art.

    I am a Savall fan. His Bach Brandenburgs were a disappointment. Too closely miced maybe. Something.

    How does it compare with Trevor Pinnock's version?
