Ed Zubrow asks for recommendations from the Berkshire Record Outlet
catalogue:

>Brandenburg Concertos with Rillig and Oregon Bach Festival on Hanssler.

'Twas *RILLING* and the slithey toves, uh, where was I? Oh, yes.  I do
not find Rilling dull at all, so toss a coin in the air and take a chance.
Haven't heard his Brandenbergs, but I like the cantata BWV 207a uses a
choral version of a movement of a Brandenberg.  Not shabby at all.  In
fact, I recommend that cd.  It has the Peasant Cantata as well ...  earthy
Bach.  Haenssler 98.163.  Berkshire also offers a good Coffee Cantata.
I'm enjoying it right now.  Haenssler 98.161.

Some of those Haenssler cds feature Thomas Quasthoff and other fine
performers doing cantatas and little known masses.

I tend to feel urgency to buy when a cd has hit Berkshire.  Too often, when
it disappears from Berkshire, it's gone forever.  I am still castigating
myself for being too conservative and missing some wonderful bargains and
some stunning performances.

Go for it.
