The "Largo ma non tanto" from the Concerto for Two violins in D Minor (BWV 1043) by J.S. Bach, performed on original instruments by the Early Music Ensemble Voices of Music. Rachel Podger & Elizabeth Blumenstock, soloists; live, 4K UHD video from our concert at the Berkeley Early Music Festival, June, 2016.
The Concerto for two violins, strings, and basso continuo in D Minor (BWV 1043) of J.S. Bach is surely one of the most complex, entrancing and beautiful of all of the concertos from the baroque period.
