Admittedly my early experience of these works was formed by the great Arthur Grumiaux' modern instrument versions, not with the ( to my ears over-romantic ) Solistes Romandes, but an earlier (I think) more incisive performance with the English Chamber Orchestra, very hard to track down, which is wonderful.
However, these performances come close, are beautifully and idiomatically played, the double-stopping passagework towards the end of the finale of the A minor concerto being suitably thrilling, and appropriate fast but not silly-fast tempos chosen, that work well with this orchestra.
The reviewer who criticised the pitch fails to realise that musical documentation of 18th century Europe suggests that they played to a lower pitch then than they do today (and even this may have varied regionally!). If she wants to play along, may I suggest she retunes her instrument down a semitone - and then play in the key Bach likely expected it to be played in, and that which this period instrument orchestra have attempted to reproduce.
