Bach’s second Brandenburg Concerto is an amazing piece of music all on its own, but also because JSB incorporated a special little instrument. The piccolo trumpet is a harrowing thing, not for the weak of heart. Thoughts of stroke aside, trumpeter Michael Sachs makes short work of this little jewel, as he joins Nicholas McGegan and members of the Cleveland Orchestra for this week’s all-Baroque concert from Severance Hall.
