Brandenburg Concertos 1-4

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & English Chamber Orchestra & Benjamin Britten

The Brandenburg Concertos are a set of Baroque concertos by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach, composed and presented as a group in 1721. They exemplify the concerto grosso approach with contrasting solo and ensemble textures, varied instrumentation and intricate contrapuntal writing, and they illustrate Bach's mature command of instrumental forms that occupies a central place in the history of Baroque music.
