Reviews: Georg Philipp Telemann: Darmstadt Overtures/Johann Sebastian Bach: Complete Harpsichord /Johann Sebastian Bach: The Brandenburg Concerti, s. 1046-1051
Charles Shere, The Tribune Calendar (July 5, 1987)
The MHS Review 393 Vol. 11 No. 15, 1987
The ... Musical Heritage Society performs especially well in issuing these compact discs of significant baroque music in spirited, authentic performances. Telemann's Overtures in seven to nine movements each are graceful, entertaining, imaginative pieces all too rarely heard, and Harnoncourt invests them with eventful, lyrical, colorful detail. Bach's harpsichord concerti are less engaging, their now brittle, now affecting content approached a bit too matter-offactly, but his beloved Brandenburgs
