Freiburg Baroque Orchestra at the Library of Congress

The Freiburg Baroque Orchestra is on a Bach World Tour, and the first stop in the United States was at the Library of Congress on Tuesday night. The tour is promoting the group's new recording of the Brandenburg Concertos, coming out next month from Harmonia Mundi. One might think that the last thing the world needs is another recording of these Bach masterworks, but the crowd packed into Coolidge Auditorium knew better, happy to hear a performance of all six of these delightful concertos.
