This sparkling recording of CPE Bach concertos follows Rachel Brown's highly acclaimed recording of Quantz concertos for Hyperion, also with The Brandenburg Consort under Roy Goodman's direction. Of Bach's five extant flute concertos the D minor may have been composed as early as 1747, the A major in 1753 and the G major in 1755. For this recording, Bach's cadenzas for the 'Allegro di molto' of the G major and Largo of the A major concertos have been followed exactly, while Bach's beautiful harmonized cadenza for the Largo of the G major has been adapted a little more freely. A rich, mellow wide-bored Quantz-style flute, almost a whole tone below modern pitch, was used for the recording. A fortepiano was used for the continuo in the D minor concerto, and the discovery of horn parts for the outer movements of a harpsichord version of the D minor concerto proved too tempting to resist, hence their inclusion here.
