4th Brandenburg Concerto (J.S.Bach)This is a full score recording of the concerto. Principal, 1st and 2nd Violins, 1st and 2nd Recorders are all played on Treble Concertinas. Viola and Cello parts are played on Bass Concertinas. I couldn't find a Bass Concertina with the range to play the Contra Bass part so that is played by Rod Argent on Synthesizer. The Continuo was played by Nicholas Kraemer on a Harpsichord supplied by George Cochran.
About two thirds of this piece was recorded in the early part of 1975, including the Violin solo in the first movement. It was however, a further four years before I felt ready to tackle the solo on the last movement.
