About This Recording

Johann Sebastian Bach composed the six Brandenburg Concertos (BWV 1046-1051) around 1721, dedicating them to Christian Ludwig, Margrave of Brandenburg. The second concerto (BWV 1047) stands out for its brilliant scoring: a concertino group of natural trumpet, recorder, oboe and violin set against a ripieno of strings and continuo. The first movement (Allegro) is characterised by its jubilant trumpet writing, intricate contrapuntal textures and irrepressible forward momentum. This Artyfile recording presents the movement in a faithful interpretation under the artistic direction of Paul Lorenz, capturing the full dynamic range and instrumental colour of the Baroque ensemble. Mastered to broadcast standard at 44.1 kHz WAV quality, the recording is optimised for professional film, television and digital media production. Released as an Artyfile exclusive (SKU: ars21000611.1).
