Composers: Johann Sebastian Bach Compositions: Violin Concertos Performers: Kati Debretzeni v, English Baroque Soloists, John Eliot Gardiner Catalogue Number: Soli Deo Gloria SDG732

There are countless surveys of the Bach violin concertos to choose from but John Eliot Gardiner and the English Baroque Soloists have produced a beautiful disc which lifts the spirits and is hard to ignore. It features the band’s Romanian-born concertmaster Kati Debretzeni and pairs the A Minor and D Minor works with gorgeous settings of two of the harpsichord concerti – the BWV1052 and 1053.
