Bach’s A Major harpsichord concerto, recast for oboe d’amore, sparkles with renewed wit. Mayer’s phrasing is buoyant and articulate, the strings a crisp foil to his instrument’s soft-grained glow. The Allegro’s relentless forward motion feels like a brisk walk through a formal garden—orderly, invigorating, yet hinting at wildness beyond the hedges.
