ExclusiveBach: Harpsichord Concerto no. 2 in E major, BWV 1053 - Complete Performance

【Classical music and nature 古典音樂小站】Johann Sebastian Bach: Harpsichord Concerto no. 2 in E major, BWV 1053 - Complete Performance. This beautiful piece was played by The Hague Philharmonic Orchestra. It has common licence (Public Domain Mark 1.0 Universal) and is provided through musopen.org.

It is almost impossible to tell from listening to them that Bach’s extremely popular concerti for harpsichord were probably his own transcriptions of solo concerti which had originally been composed for violin or a woodwind instrument. The outer movements of the second concerto, in E major, probably written around 1738, sparkle with joy, while the expressive melodic lines of the middle movement, the Siciliano in C-sharp minor, transport the listener to the realm of his Passion music.

G. Henle Publishers presents this repertoire standard in an Urtext edition with an extensive commentary. The study edition (HN 7381) features the complete orchestral score; the piano reduction (HN 1381) contains the solo part as well as a very playable piano reduction of the score prepared by Johannes Umbreit for practical use.
