I have heard these pieces many times by many artists. Heifetz, Stern, And others I can't remember. Bach happens to be my favorite classical composer. Live: I've heard the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra & New York City Ballet Orchestra tackle the Dbl Concertos in D Minor. I've seen the Paul Taylor Dancers skip, hop, slide and roll to this music in "Esplanade." In my humble opinion it is the best collection of these solo & dbl violin concertos. The smallness of the orchestra keeps it from getting that bloated ponderous sound that many other versions have. The tempos are crisp, driven, the period instrumentation, informative and oddly 'fresh' a very human imperfect, yet wonderful recording. There is this boldness, that sounds almost sloppy, but I know it to be the wrecklessness of sheer perfection. Listen to these on headphones so you can hear every nuance every sweeping stroke of the bow.
