JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH (1685-1750)
Brandenburg concerto No. 5 for violin, transverse flute, harpsichord, ripieno violins, viola, cello and violone in D major BWV1050
1. Allegro
Performed by Concerto Italiano
Conducted by Rinaldo Alessandrini
*Winner of the Grammaphone editor's Choice award, and the 2006 Grammaphone award for best baroque intrumental recording
*It is believed that this concerto was written in 1719, to show off a new harpsichord by Michael Mietke which Bach had brought back from Berlin for the Cöthen court. It is also thought that Bach wrote it for a competition at Dresden with the French composer and organist Louis Marchand; in the central movement, Bach uses one of Marchand's themes. Marchand fled before the competition could take place, apparently scared off in the face of Bach's great reputation of virtuosity and improvisation.
The concerto is well suited throughout to showing off the qualities of a fine harpsichord and the virtuosity of its player, but especially in the lengthy solo 'cadenza' to the first movement. It seems almost certain that Bach, considered a great organ and harpsichord virtuoso, was the harpsichord soloist at the premiere. Scholars have seen in this work the origins of the solo keyboard concerto; indeed it is said to be the first-ever example.
**For OedipusColoneus, the biggest Concerto Italiano fan I know :)
