The Brandenburg Concertos Nos. 1-6

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Orchester der Wiener Staatsoper & Felix Prohaska

The Brandenburg Concertos Nos. 1-6 are a set of six instrumental concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed and presented in 1721. Written in the Baroque concerto grosso tradition, they feature contrasting groupings of instruments, inventive textures, fugal and dance-like movements and a wide range of instrumental colour, and they were composed during Bach's Köthen period as part of his exploration of concerto form within his instrumental output.
