Concertos for 2 Harpsichords

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Bob van Asperen & Gustav Leonhardt

Concertos for Two Harpsichords is a set of concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1730 during his Leipzig years. Scored for two harpsichords with string ensemble and continuo, they employ Baroque concerto grosso textures and intricate contrapuntal dialogue between the soloists, reflecting Bach's exploration of keyboard virtuosity and concerto form in his mature period.
