I can't find the Brandenburgs, but I will keep >trying. Two of my favorite - because they're so outlandish - Bearbeitungen are Robin Holloway's 'Gilded Goldbergs' for two pianos, and Uri Caine's orchestration (wildly done) of the Goldbergs. As it happens I've reviewed both at amazon.com; Holloway's Gilded Goldbergs at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00006RHQB/classicalnetA/ Uri Caine's Goldbergs at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004RGPM/classicalnetA/ You'll see that mine is not necessarily a majority opinion in either case, though.:-) Scott Morrison
