"Here is more detailed information on the three concertos:



1) Concerto for Flute, Violin, Harpsichord, and Strings in A minor, BWV 1044. [21:28] Often referred to as the "Triple Concerto."

Lisa Beznosiuk, Simon Standage, The English Concert, Trevor Pinnock.



2) Concerto for 2 Harpsichords, Strings, and Continuo in C minor, BWV 1060. [13:32] Arranged for Violin, Oboe, Strings & Continuo.

David Reichenberg, Simon Standage, The English Concert, Trevor Pinnock.



3) Concerto for Harpsichord, Strings, and Continuo No.4 in A major, BWV 1055. [14:50] Reconstruction for Oboe d'amore, Strings, and Continuo.

David Reichenberg, The English Concert, Trevor Pinnock.



All three are fine works, well performed, but the CD is worth it for the Triple Concerto alone!

"I buy about any CD where Trevor Pinnock plays the harpsichord and or directs the orchestra. And again, this is an excellent quality recording by Archiv. You cannot go wrong with this CD."
