Brandenburg Concerto 2 - 1 with 4 melodicas in consort + recorder - Bach on melodica!

I had originally intended to use an Andes 25 F flute melodica for the recorder part, but it's an octave too high, so I ended up with the minor sin of using the instrument that was intended! This recording introduces 4 new melodicas into the mix, all produced by Suzuki. The distribution of parts is as follows:

Concertino:
Trumpet: Soprano melodica
Alto recorder: Alto recorder
Oboe: Alto melodica
Violin: Alto melodica

Ripieno:
Vln 1, Vln 2, Vla: Alto melodica
Cello and Bass: Bass melodica

Outstanding work, as usual! Most extraordinary. By the way, what's your opinion of Musica Antiqua's recording of the Brandenburgh concertos? Just curious.

[JamesHowardYoung]

@StevenJeNova They are good, but of course a bit old. A lot has happened in the past 25 years and there's some other great recordings out there as well.

[JamesHowardYoung]

@cacgs Thanks! -J

This is tremendous. Thanks so much for posting. What about the Bach Violin Concerto in E? Better yet, what about some of the short canons from the Musical Offering? Those are great pieces, and they probably wouldn't take much time to put together. Love what you're doing! Keep it up!

[JamesHowardYoung]

Thanks for the comments. The E Major violin concerto is very soon on my list!

[SuperJox]

What program did you use to do this?

[DerOlleJo]

Awesome! This is great!

That was awesome. I can honestly say I would pay money to see you guys in concert if I had a job.

[ScoggJazz]

The melodica makes an exxellent high pitch trumpet. And to include a real recorder, does magic. You are genius that defies description. Thank you so much and I do not remember how often I listened to this wonderful Concerto during my time on YouTube. Kindest regards and highest compliments coming from Germany.
