Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 in B flat major, BWV 1051

Available for over a year

Bach displayed brilliance as an organist, but he also had consummate skills on stringed instruments, especially the viola. In his 6th Brandenburg Concerto, two of them are given starring roles. The first movement makes use of Ritornello and the sublime slow movement gives way to an infectiously dance-like 3rd movement, ending in the sunniest of moods. Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach Performer: BBC Symphony Orchestra Conductor: Leo Hussain Recording date: 15 April 2011
