Superb

This album is absolutely wonderful. Any lover of Bach's music will find a good bargain and excellent recording of his best orchestral work here. Sir Neville Marriner is a great conductor and has the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields at its best. The sound quality is good, it sounds well-rehearsed, and every little detail can be picked up. In my opinion, the best Brandenburg Concerti/Orchestral Suites/Violin Concerti recording out there, bar none.

The Definitive Brandenburgs.

Prior to hearing Neville Marriner's performances of the Brandenburg Concertos, I could not tell one performance from another; but these recordings quickly became the standard in my mind. Since then I have heard plenty of terrible renditions of Bach: sometimes simply lacking energy and drive, sometimes replacing harpsichord with piano, sometimes using too many instruments and muddying the sound. If you want a complete collection of the Brandenburgs with period accuracy, high energy, and crystal-clear sound, I doubt you can do any better than this collection.

Grand Brandenburgs

Sir Neville Marriner conducting the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields in this reading of the Bach's Brandenburg Concertos has been one of my favorite vinyl recordings for many years. I cannot submit a well-informed comparative analysis of these readings or offer instructive comments on the readings of the Orchestral Suites (since they were not originally offered as part of the analog offering). But I have to say that this recording of Concertos is stunningly beautiful.
