Is it possible that the Lindsays are fallible? A few years ago only the
British magazines raved about them; now, the U.S. does as well. Actually,
I've loved what I've heard from them - Mozart, Haydn, and Schubert. Since
I'm partial to Mozart/Haydn on period instruments, my affection for the
Lindsays is quite an endorsement. They just seem to have their thumbs on
the pulse of the music; I really admire that, and it sounds great too.
Did any of you obtain Goebel's 2-disc set of Bach cantatas which came
out about 9 months ago? There's a depth and emotional reverence to Bach's
cantatas which, of course, do not apply to the Brandenbergs. I have not
reached a final conclusion, but I suspect that Goebel does not reach into
those aspects fully, while in the Brandenbergs I always feel that Goebel is
having a "blast."
