Not sure if you are concerned about the lack of respect for the other musicians, or just curious? It's Jurowski and the LPO in the concerto...

Lack of respect

think the Main One was the composers and the Main Content are the works!

I like the Alte Musik Berlin's approach to Bach - for once, a HIP group that isn't afraid to play slowly.

However, the performance uses an innovative array of instrument groups, and this being my only AotF, I have no idea what the music sounds like when performed on the same instrument(s) throughout.
