Lively and invigorating!

Rinaldo Alessandrini is in my opinion one of the most exciting conductors - because qu'inventif and because taking risks - in recent years. And I must confide, before talking about the record before us, that my views against him are biased from the start.

Certainly, reading that governs the interpretation of these Brandenburg Concerts may be a bit confusing for those familiar with the work, and I can easily understand the critics who do not find enough marked counterpoint to which they are accustomed. For me, it is for this same reason that I appreciate: Alessandrini does not hesitate to put the instruments in front, even at times diminish the overall structure in favor of ad hoc discussions. In doing so it also makes them more audible, making the whole can be a little less homogeneous and less easy listening, but certainly more stimulating.
All this is not very Catholic to some, and only irreverent or poorly educated (and jazz fans which I am!) Find nothing to complain about. Perhaps they are right, as I myself lack of classical culture, but basically I'm not quite sure.

In any case, and beyond the Brandenburg Concerts alone, I encourage anyone, and even those who are not fans of classical music, to approach the baroque repertoire with Rinaldo Alessandrini: is entering heart in music, sometimes approached with a bit of momentum, but it is not displeasing to those, including myself, who love that music upsets.
