Brandenburg Concerto no. 6 in B-flat major BWV 1051

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.
