[Gene_StL]

How did I make it to age 68, and never heard the Bach d minor harpsichord concerto , when the 5th Brandenburg is one of my favorite pieces.

So go over to you toob and take a listen to these and then find a hi rez version.

1rst movement Allegro with video of performers (Jean Rondeau , hot chops French Harpsichodist with great ensemble called Dynastie)

2nd Movement Adagio

3rd movement Allegro

Nice of them to post the whole thing!

Then if you prefer a large Steinway, fighting against a much larger orchestra, we have the Russian child prodigy
Polina Osetinskaya playing at the Mariinsky theater in St. Petersburg. That's no chile anymore.


all three movements

Then you can start hunting you toob for other performances of which there are many many.
Since my system isn't really set up yet, I am settling for you tube and headphones.
But if you don't know this piece give it a listen. Bach showing off hard.
