http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b038l2xv

It probably is a repeat but that doesn’t matter (to me). Two hours of Bach.

Ingeniuosly programmed, all the genuine motets interspersed with sinfonia's from theologically related cantatas.
Unfortunately most likely I will not have the time to listen to all of it (if at all)

[David-G]

... I shall probably be asleep, but the following (from the Radio Times) tonight does intrigue :

Bach Brandenburg concerto no. 3 in G BWV1048 (Mvts 2 and 3)
Australian Chamber Orchestra, director Richard Egarr (fortepiano)

a) What happened to movement 1?
b) Where did they find the non-existent movement 2??
c) What's a fortepiano doing in the mix???
