Kuijken brings a new approach to these well known works. The trumpet part in Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 is played on an “original” baroque trumpet, without holes. In the first two concertos, one player is used per part, even for the “tutti” parts, to create greater transparency in overall sound. Research has shown that Bach used the “shoulder cello” or “violoncello da spalla” and three are played here.
