The Four Orchestral Suites

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Deutsches Symphonie‐Orchester Berlin & Lorin Maazel

The Four Orchestral Suites are a set of orchestral suites by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach, composed circa 1720–1731. They exemplify Baroque dance forms and orchestration and sit within Bach's Leipzig-period output as his principal contributions to the orchestral suite genre in music history.
