4 Orchestral Suites

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Ton Koopman

The Four Orchestral Suites are a collection of four orchestral suites by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach, composed circa 1717–1723. Rooted in the Baroque dance-suite tradition, they feature overture-style openings, contrasting dance movements and varied orchestration that reflect the instrumental resources Bach employed during his Köthen and Leipzig periods, representing some of his principal secular orchestral works.
