Separated this from a large nomination to make 3 smaller nominations with a Brandenburg Concerto in each. A superb piece of music by JS Bach, and this recording illustrates the Brandenburg Concertos page very well. They come from the Al Goldstein collection in the Pandora music repository at ibiblio.org. They are recordings by the Advent Chamber orchestra in a live concert for the small record label that has released its work to the public. They are well played with spirit and would make a fine set of FS. Originally uploaded by Graham87.

Nominate and support. Major Bloodnok (talk) 11:00, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: I listened to the first movement. Wrong notes and tuning problems, mostly in the first 30 s. Harpsichord is a is box of bees. But the main problem is the audio-engineering. Fuzzy and lacking in body. Tempo slackens. Tony (talk) 13:11, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Harpsichord does not have enough resonance, especially considering the vital role it plays in this work. This is evident in the cadenza of the 1st movement ... the lowest notes sound completely wrong to me, as if they were artificially amplified or ... almost as if they come from another instrument.
