Orchestral Suites 1 - 4

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Academy of St Martin in the Fields & Sir Neville Marriner

Orchestral Suites Nos. 1–4 are a set of orchestral suites by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed circa 1720. They are Baroque orchestral works in the French overture and dance-suite tradition, featuring orchestral writing for strings, winds and basso continuo that blends stately overtures with a variety of dance movements, and they occupy an important place in Bach's instrumental output as examples of his mastery of form, orchestral colour and contrapuntal technique.
