Brandenburg Concertos / Gustav Leonhardt and others
I have six or seven discs of the Brandenburg Concertos, including analog and digital versions. The beauty of this collection is that every performance is enjoyable in its own way. Among them, I like the Kuijken version of the 2nd concerto played by Jean-Francois Madeuf on natural trumpet. As for No. 5, Leonhardt’s two discs are good, but I think it is hard to discard Ton Koopman’s ” innovative” performance. For No.3, No.4 and No.6 the vivacious tempo Koopman and Suzuki are seem to be good for me.
