Description on Youtube:
Bach turns things upside down in this 'Brandenburg' Concerto No. 6 in B-flat major, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach. Violins – usually the golden boys of the orchestra – are conspicuous by their absence! Instead, two violas play the leading role. As the highest parts, they ‘play first fiddle’ as soloists. supported by two viola da gambas and a double bass.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on October 2nd 2018 at TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating http://bit.ly/2uZuMj5.
