Bach: Brandenburg Concertos

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Academy of Ancient Music & Richard Egarr

The Brandenburg Concertos are a collection of six concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in 1721. Scored for varied combinations of soloists and continuo, they exemplify the Baroque concerto grosso through energetic counterpoint, contrasting timbres and virtuosic instrumental writing, and they occupy a prominent position in Bach's instrumental oeuvre and Baroque repertoire.
