+ música: Bach - Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 in B-flat major BWV 1051 - Sato | Netherlands Bach Society

Bach turns things upside down in the sixth ‘Brandenburg’ concerto, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach. Violins – usually the golden boys of the orchestra – are conspicuous by their absence! Instead, two violas play the leading role. As the highest parts, they ‘play first fiddle’ as soloists. supported by two viola da gambas and a double bass.
