The particular interest of this recording from the German violinist Frank Peter Zimmermann is in its juxtaposition of two "original" Bach concertos for violin, and two "reconstructed" concertos based on versions which we know existed but whose earlier versions are lost. This is the case for the Concerto in D Minor BWV1052R ("R" for "reconstructed"), which everyone knows as one of Bach's most famous piano concertos, but whose underlying score for violin stands out. Concerto BWV1060R has become known in the collective consciousness as a "concerto for violin and oboe", whereas the initial work seems to have been conceived for two violins. In the latter case, Zimmermann is joined by... Zimmermann - but not by means of "re-recording": this Zimmermann is his son, Serge, a violinist in his own right. Alert, vivacious performances, at furious tempos, give this music an air of modernity. An excellent accompaniment is guaranteed thanks to the impeccable Berliner Barocksolisten, the baroque chamber orchestra who grew out of the Berlin Philharmonic. © SM/Qobuz
