This is a new recording by Lux \u0026amp; Collegium 1704, which has given masterful performances in a series of Zelenka recordings and in Bach's \"Mass in B minor\". The new recording features Leffler, who is also a solo oboe player at the Berlin Academy of Ancient Music, and Prohaska, a renowned singer who can sing music from any period with great intensity. Included are some exciting and must-hear pieces for lovers of Bach's \"restored concertos\"! The oboe d'amore version of BWV 1055 and the oboe version of BWV 1056, both restored from the harpsichord concerto, are relatively familiar, but it is difficult to find definitive performances of these pieces. It is a pleasure to hear it soloed by the virtuoso Leffler. The extended tone of the instruments, including \"Bach's Arioso,\" enhances the charm of the piece. A surprise is the arrangement of the Concerto for Two Harpsichords, BWV 1061. Generally, the original is said to be a harpsichord duet, but here it has been restored (or created?) with a rather free choice of instruments, and the result is a colorful and richly varied concerto. The ensemble is rich in color.The first harpsichord is assigned to the oboe and viola da gamba, and the second harpsichord to the violin and bassoon, creating an interesting interplay between strings and winds. In the third movement, the fugue, the viola and cello join the concertino, further developing it. Cantata No. 84 is an impressive aria with beautiful interplay between strings, oboe, and singing. Cantata No. 52 is also notable for its use of the first draft of the first movement of the Brandenburg Concerto No. 1 for the Sinfonia.
