Concentus Musicus Wien, dir. Nikolaus Harnencourt, 1985.
If you're going to do Bach, it's fun to do him as authentically as possible (although I give the lie to that with the versions of suites and keyboard pieces I have...).
This is a pretty authentic album, dripping with juicy wooden recorder floridillos, and served on a bedding of colourful harpsichord waves...
The timbral (tone colour) variety is a huge part of the Brandenburg success...I always love the start of the 3rd one, because of the wealth of violas that charge the opening bars.
Warm, genius, colourful...every home should have one!
