Excerpts from the booklet
The Concerto for Harpsichords and Strings G minor BWV 1058 is the last finished work in the autograph of the concertos for one harpsichord. As far as the compositional chronology of this group of works is concerned, this concerto stands at the beginning and documents the earliest stage in Bach’ efforts to transform concertos for one melody instrument into harpsichord concertos. (Prof. Dr. Werner Breig)
Excerpts from the reviews
„Lebhaft, agil." (FonoForum, 2001)„Here is an early – instruments ensemble that produces beautiful sounds in forthright interpretations of great music. I think MDG has a valuable series here." (Fanfare, 2001)
