About "Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 5 in F Minor, BWV 1056: III. Presto" by Columbia Symphony Orchestra

The Presto from Bach's Keyboard Concerto No. 5 is a whirlwind of Baroque energy. The harpsichord or piano spins out rapid-fire notes, a clockwork mechanism gone delightfully wild. The tension is between the strict counterpoint and the sheer, breathless speed.
