Bach - Double Violin & Oboe Concerto [Mackintosh & Hammer/ Hogwood-The Academy Of Ancient Music]As well as the 6 Brandenburg Concertos, this double disc set also has room for three other works, and one of these is the delightful Double Concerto for Violin & Oboe [BWV 1060].
I like this lithe performance on 'authentic instruments', there's not enough Double Concertos in the world, so this is very welcome, and Bach and Vivaldi regularly composed these types of concertos.
I certainly enjoyed all the movements of this concerto, but most of all the final movement was especially thrilling, it's played quite fast here, but maybe this is a normal speed,
Here's Nigel Kennedy & Aisling Casey playing the third movement of this Concerto on YouTube, even Nige gets a rose at the end!.
