JS Bach: Violin Concertos


�Podger delivers an infectious, dancing lead which rubs off on the small, top-quality band. The A minor jig has a breathless intensity as the players unanimously bend to the delirious rhythm...Podger's period-instrument rendering of these untiringly repeatable masterworks is among the best on disc, authentic or otherwise.� --Classic FM Magazine, December 2010 *****

�In these lively, one-instrument-to-a-part performances, they [1056 and 1055] work well in this adaptation, and Podger�s lean, sinewy sound rises out of the ensemble shiningly.� --Sunday Times, 17th October 2010 ****


�This crack squad of first-rate period-instrument musicians gives lithe, polished and devoted performances that make a convincing case for a one-to-a-part "orchestra". Indeed, so full-bodied is the sound that you could be forgiven for not noticing the paucity of numbers � except the precision and freedom for manoeuvre is far greater than any chamber orchestra could achieve.� --bbc.co.uk, 30th November 2010

�The music flows with a natural ease. She stays light and nimble, very much embedded in the ensemble. The delicacy of her dynamic shifts and decorative details is remarkable...But this above all is a community endeavour. Podger�s six supporting musicians play alongside with exquisite skill and freshness...and provide a thrilling kaleidoscope of colours.� --The Times, 22nd October 2010 *****

�Sunshine floods through this ensemble recording...The forces are small, just one player per part, yet Rachel Podger and Brecon Baroque think big...The E-major Concerto has spring, poise and wit, while the G-minor contrasts the langour of the Largo with a fizzing Presto.� --The Independent on Sunday, 3rd October 2010

�Exceptionally intimate and flexible performances from Rachel Podger� --Financial Times, 13th November 2010
