Building a Library: Bach's Concerto for Oboe, Violin and strings in C minor BWV1060R
David Vickers recommends a version of this ever-popular Bach Concerto. Though the manuscript was lost, a reconstruction of it was made possible because, in 1736, Bach had arranged it as the Concerto for two harpsichords and orchestra in C minor.
