Great choice.
I have been listening to some of the Leipzig Chorales played by Bine Katrine Bryndorf

Concerto in D BWV 972 (After Vivaldi)

Thanks Rob. For once I listened beyond the stringy twang and I thought this harpsichord had a lovely mellowness. Perhaps the enthusiasm and good humour of the soloist influenced me this time, though I'm sure it had something to do with the skill of the builder, not to mention the combined input of Vivaldi and Bach, Super Group.

The music of these Cantatas has to stand alone for me, Rob, and of course it does. It helps to read over the text where possible to get the gist, and though I am not very religious I am usually in sympathy with its meaning from my Religious Education. I really enjoyed this performance, and I was very glad to see the women singing their parts in the quartet. You might have noticed in the video a nice shot of the cello with the soprano and alto.

Sorry I'm late Rob.

Those two harpsichords deserved more input from that marvellous string quintet, don't you think? I know - it was a keyboard show/duel, but the strings provided great backup when let.

Spot on IMO Padraig
