BACH: “BRANDENBURG” CONCERTOS; other works. Richard Kapp conducts the Philharmonia Virtuosi. CBS MDK 44651, MDK 44652 (2 compact discs). Scattered moments of solo brilliance are thoroughly undermined by often almost comically wayward ensemble, stylistic indifference and poor sonics. Instrumental arrangements of vocal selections from cantatas, and the Gavottes from the Third Orchestral Suite, BWV 1068, round out these collections of re-released material.
