JohannSebastianBach, giant among Baroque composers, was a prolific writer whose versatility and creativity resulted in a wealth of musical works with a diversity ranging from sacred choral works, keyboard music to orchestra music.
The CD, Concerto for Two Violins in D minor / Violin Concertos in A minor & E minor, is an orchestral recording conducted by Salvatore Accardo, in which two violins (Anne-Sophie Mutter and Salvatore Accardo) / solo violin (Anne-Sophie Mutter) are contrasted with a larger orchestra (English Chamber Orchestra) of strings and bass continuo instrument the harpsichord.
Bach is often criticized for his strict attention to form. Whilst, I greatly admire Bach for his intellectual and methodical approach to composition, what I enjoy most is the harmonious and melodic music that results.

Steven Isserlis is an outstanding cellist. When you listen his playing alive, which I did, you can see how he captures you with his playing. I am a professional viola player for twenty years.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Bach: Cello Suites
Advantages: J. S. Bach; all musicians and vocalists; Karajan. Disadvantages: Karajan's big, ponderous sound and historical inauthenticity, for some.

DVD Description
One of the most famous musicians of all time, Johann Sebastian Bach left behind an incredible oeuvre of Baroque compositions. Gorgeous in all their symmetry and nuances, these works have withstood the test of time, and continued to be performed all over the world. This video features a historically accurate performance of Bach's Orchestral Suites. Played by the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra on reproduced period instruments, these four suites -- No. 1 in C, No. 2 in B Minor, and No. 3 and 4 in D Major -- sound just as delightful as they did when they were first performed.
