Brandenburg Concertos 4, 5, 6

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & English Chamber Orchestra & Philip Ledger

Brandenburg Concertos Nos. 4, 5 and 6 are three of the six concertos composed by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach in 1721 as part of the collection commonly known as the Brandenburg Concertos. They exemplify Baroque concerto grosso practice through contrasting solo and ensemble textures, inventive instrumentation including independent wind and string roles and a prominent harpsichord part, and represent Bach's exploration of instrumental form and texture within his oeuvre and the wider Baroque repertoire.
