An overall recommendation by the Gramophone critic Nicholas Anderson. An alternative version for those who happen to dislike the slightly overreverberant sound of Jordi Savall's interpretation. Jack Botelho said: Another fast-paced, foot-stomping version of the Brandenburg Concertos complete with "letter of the law" period instruments (including squawking horns) and a dazzling display of virtuosity with little attention payed to the "spirit of the music". The final movement of the sixth concerto is played particularly quickly and insensitively.
