The Brandenburg Concertos
Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & English Chamber Orchestra & Johannes Somary
The Brandenburg Concertos are a collection of six instrumental concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach, compiled and dedicated in 1721. Composed in the high Baroque style, the works experiment with varied solo-instrument groupings and ensemble textures, combining contrapuntal writing and virtuosic passages that illustrate Bach's instrumental craft during his Köthen period and his contribution to the concerto grosso tradition.
