Amazon.com No other composer in history has ever combined spontaneous genius with didactic precision as Bach did. Everything he wrote became an instant "model" for future generations. This is Bach's only unified set of concertos, but it does absolutely everything that the form could do in the first half of the 18th century. There are concertos for violins, flutes, recorders, trumpet, harpsichord, horns, violas, and cellos--in every conceivable combination. Given the rewarding parts for so many soloists, it's no wonder these works have always attracted the best players. And that's just what you get in this outstanding set-all--star performances recorded in beautiful sound. --David Hurwitz, ISBN13: B0000040XD ISBN10: B0000040XD Material Type: audioCDAmazon.com No other composer in history has ever combined spontaneous genius with didactic precision as Bach did.
