Notes and Editorial Reviews
...Heinz Holliger gives us a characteristically fluent and tasteful performance of [BWV1056] with its warm coloured outer movements and more deeply searching Larghetto... The remaining concertos on this record are seldom heard in their present form. First, and most substantial, is a reconstruction in F major of Bach's Harpsichord Concerto in E major, BWV1053. Holliger reckons that its comparatively dense orchestration suggests that Bach may originally have had the oboe in mind as a solo instrument since a flute of those days would not have been sufficiently able to compete with the string texture. Maybe he is right but what cannot be proved historically certainly is persuasive in performance...
