“

Anybody acquainted with the old and equally wonderful recordings of the Busch Chamber Playersis likely to greatly enjoy this even more Romantic performance of "Papa" Casals leading the youthful Marlboro Orchestra. Be aware that the string sections includes such talented youngesters as Jaie Laredo, Michael Tree and Arnold Steinhardt, who went on to become among the most thought-after chamber players of the American and European scene. ~ Henry Raymont

.../...Casals conducts the Bach Concerti & Suites as he plays the Bach Sonatas: with vim, vigor, and vitality; with rhythm, color, and accent; with dash, esprit, and intellect. In short, these are the very best realizations of the Brandenburgs available--or will ever again be available.
By the way, in these sessions and at rehearsals, Casals conducted sitting down with his cello on which he illustrated the tempi, accents and inflections he wanted for the orchestra, and used his cello bow as a baton. This is as real as it gets!
The soloists are wonderful. The recorded sound is bright and clear.../... ~ The Riviera Reviewer

Thanks so much for this! I was looking for this version. I grew up with Menuhin's Bath Festival Orchestra... Casals is one I should listen to more often. I will also download the K.Richter version, mainly because he was so keen on recording all the works...on the old Archiv edition. But he is a bit too scholastic in his view of the works for my taste. But I must have them. Britten is also a good one to have. He was a great conductor and knew his music besides his own works.
