ExclusiveBach: Harpsichord Concerto no. 4 in A major, BWV 1055 - Complete Performance

【Classical music and nature 古典音樂小站】Johann Sebastian Bach: Harpsichord Concerto no. 4 in A major, BWV 1055 - Complete Performance. This beautiful piece was played by Collegium Musicum Paris. It has common licence (Public Domain Mark 1.0 Universal) and is provided through musopen.org.

Bach’s harpsichord concertos have proven extremely popular, though several were originally written as concertos for another solo instrument – either violin or a woodwind instrument. But we know nothing about any such preliminary versions in the case of the A-major Concerto BWV 1055. Its enchantingly songlike middle movement inevitably makes one think of the oboe d’amore, though there is in fact no reason to suppose that its idiomatic, spirited harpsichord writing was conceived from the outset for anything but a keyboard instrument. Ultimately, this music is so fresh and irresistible that all such speculation is irrelevant.
