J S Bach Keyboard Concertos - Nick Van Bloss, English Chamber Orchestra / David Parry. © 2011 Wyastone Estate Ltd

The recorded Bach keyboard concertos have a standout place in the catalogues. A gamut of styles are represented, and in recent times the choice of Goldbergs and the concertos has reached epic numbers.
