Performance Notes:
      Widely regarded as the finest compositions of the Baroque era, Bach's six Brandenburg Concertos are thought to have been composed during his time living in Kothen, Germany. The sixth concerto is uniuqe due to the instrumentation Bach used, notably the absence of violins. Originally scored for two viola de braccio, two viola de gamba, cello, biolone and harpischord, this arrangement uses four C flutes, alto flute, bass flute, and optional continuo (or piano, or harpsichord, or organ). This arrangement was first performed at the 1982 NFA Convention in Seattle, and it is fitting that thirty years later it is included among the first new releases from ALRY Publications upon moving to Seattle in 2012.
