Violinkonzerte E-dur - A-moll , Doppelkonzert D-moll , Air Aus Der Suite Nr. 3

This 1985 Philips release captures a definitive mid-1980s interpretation of Bach’s violin repertoire, featuring the Polish-Mexican virtuoso Henryk Szeryng. Recorded in collaboration with Sir Neville Marriner and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, the album brings together the Violin Concertos in E Major and A Minor, the Double Concerto in D Minor, and the celebrated Air from the Suite No. 3. These sessions reflect the era's transition toward period-informed performance practices while maintaining the rich, balanced sound profile characteristic of the Philips label's high-fidelity classical recordings.

The design of this release follows the clean, institutional aesthetic common to Philips classical pressings of the mid-80s, prioritizing clarity and scholarly presentation. The cover art serves as a functional vehicle for the prestige of the performers, highlighting the Academy of St Martin in the Fields—an ensemble renowned for their precision and stylistic rigor. Upon its release, the recording was well-received by critics who praised Szeryng’s warm, intellectual approach to Bach, solidifying this album's place as a reliable cornerstone in the extensive discography of the composer's concertos.
