in 2010, maestro Riccardo Chailly records johann sebastian bach for decca for the very first time with 2 releases. He has conducted the illustrious gewandhaus orchestra since 1986. Riccardo Chailly's profound musicality illumines three of bach's large-scale masterpieces: the st. Matthew passion and the brandenburg concertos. Played on modern instruments, chailly's bach beautifully demonstrates that vivid, stylistically aware performance is not the exclusive preserve of period instrument ensembles.
