"Brandenburg" Concertos nos. 4, 5, & 6

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & English Chamber Orchestra & Raymond Leppard

The Brandenburg Concertos Nos. 4, 5 and 6 are three of the six concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach, compiled and presented as a set in 1721 during his tenure in Köthen. These works exemplify Baroque concerto writing through lively concertante interplay, contrasting textures and intricate counterpoint that illustrate Bach's development of the concerto form and his experimentation with solo and ensemble roles within his instrumental output.
