Orchestral Suite no. 1 in C major, BWV 1066

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks & Giovanni Antonini

Orchestral Suite No. 1 in C major, BWV 1066 is an orchestral suite by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1717–1723 during his Köthen period. The suite exemplifies the Baroque orchestral-suite form with a stately French-style overture followed by a sequence of dance movements scored for strings, oboes and basso continuo, and it forms part of Bach's instrumental output from that period.
