I thought I would just like to share this wonderful music with you.

Mostly known in the official Bach version for three Harpsichords and small orchestra, here it is expertly transposed for three violins, which may well be close to its actual original form, before Bach made the Three Harpsichord Concerto of it

Please enjoy!

Best wishes from George

A nice alternate performance from the time when the piano was often viewed as the suitable keyboard for Bach. A wonderful performance to warm the heart!

That was a treat George. Thanks for the post!

I enjoyed listening to that, thanks.
I understand why classical has a separate room, but rarely think to visit.

Fortunate for all the lil' fish that your knowledge is available

Dear Still,

I have the idea of posting other little nuggets of gold from time to time.

Recordings can be great, because they are a time radar of how things were done over a long time, and also allow for investigating things that are really not often played in concerts these days.

The gramophone as such really is an important part of Western Art Culture by now.

Best wishes from George

I couldn't agree more.
Whatever you do, please keep posting

Cheers - John

Geroge J, thanks for posting this!

I have several versions of these wonderful concertos for 2, 3 & 4 keyboards, BWV 1060-1065, with various instruments. These are most likely my favourite versions:

Dear Frank,

One day we must share listening to these!
