Just tried Harnoncourt on Teldec (circa 1992) via Napster. Very solid bass line, and slows up at the end of the first movement.
How many more should we try? Has anyone tried Philip Pickett - he with the odd ideas about symbolism etc.? I have the CDs - they're good, though I'm not convinced that they benefit from his extra musical ideas. http://www.recorderhomepage.net/brandenburgs.html
I'm sure I've got a few more lying around on CDs - probably Giardino Armonico (usually excellent).
If anyone is interested only in the 6th there are several versions - none particularly well known - on emusic, and for only three tracks that might only cost £1.26 for each version of the 6th downloaded, though check with streaming sites if you're a subscriber as some reappear on those sites.
Spotify has quite a few, including Suzuki http://open.spotify.com/track/7MrDXofyuIhSz958gOyYev, which starts off slower. I think this may be 1 to a part, and it's quite easy to follow the individual lines.
It also has Giardino Armonico - http://open.spotify.com/track/7qReOAvZ8Fv0HYYJxnRsc5 which sounds as though it has a lute or similar along with the harpsichord, and is faster.
After Suzuki, Richard Egarr on HM sounds very vigorous! http://open.spotify.com/track/4klKdruNS0WuGoMcC0ILmU
Menuhin with the Bath Festival orchestra sounds very different - very slow - http://open.spotify.com/track/7ylwjuCyIlEt6jgXdvMzOP
Munchinger is also slow - http://open.spotify.com/track/7jFKw7IZHNFKw51xaMElQp but the overall sound is quite pleasant!
Pitches vary considerably across the various recordings.
