J.S. Bach - Violin Concerto No. 1 in A Minor, BWV1041; Violin Concerto No. 2 in E Major, BWV1042

Performed by Geoffrey Applegate, violin Accompaniment: Vienna Festival Orchestra Conductor: Franz Litschauer These are the two concerti for solo violin that have survived in this form. The adagio of the E-major concerto is superb in its exquisite simplicity and emotion. Now digitally remastered for the ultimate in sonic fidelity, this deluxe edition includes a second CD featuring slow-tempo accompaniments to use as you get up to speed; and a newly edited and engraved "urtext" edition of each concerto. Includes a newly engraved, authoritative printed music score with orchestral reduction, newly edited by Baroque violin expert Wieslaw Novak, printed on high-quality ivory paper; and a compact disc containing a complete version with soloist, in digitally remastered stereo; then a second digitally remastered stereo version of the orchestral accompaniment, minus the soloist; and a second compact disc containing the complete version of the concerto, followed by a -20% slow-tempo version of the accompaniments for practice purposes.
