Brandenburg Concerto No. 1: movement 2

Update: 2025-06-16

Description

A far far cry from the happy hunting horns of the first part, the second part of Brandenburg Concerto No. 1 is a bitter adagio. To modern ears, its aesthetic of dark gangster drama is less galant, and more "Godfather."

(Look at our past seasons to find episodes covering Brandenburg Concertos 3, 4, 5, and 6.)
