Brandenburgische Konzerte Nos. 2, 3, 5

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Gewandhausorchester Leipzig & Helmut Koch

The Brandenburg Concertos Nos. 2, 3 and 5 are a set of instrumental concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in 1721. They exemplify the Baroque concerto grosso, juxtaposing soloistic episodes with ensemble ritornellos, combining virtuosic solo writing with intricate contrapuntal textures and varied instrumental colours, and they reflect Bach's engagement with contemporary concerto forms within his compositional output.
First released: 1966
