Englische Suiten, BWV 806–811

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Robert Levin

The English Suites, BWV 806–811 are a set of six keyboard suites by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed circa 1715–1720. They synthesise Baroque dance forms with Italian and French stylistic elements, employ contrapuntal textures and elaborate ornamentation, and represent a substantial early collection in Bach's keyboard output that explores technical and expressive possibilities on the harpsichord.
