Brandenburg Concertos Nos. 1-6

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Camerata of the 18th Century & Konrad Hünteler

The Brandenburg Concertos Nos. 1-6 are a set of six concertos by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach, presented in 1721. They exemplify Baroque instrumental music, employing concerto grosso techniques with varied solo combinations and ensemble textures, including contrapuntal writing, rhythmic drive and a broad palette of instrumental colour that reflects Bach's experimentation with form and orchestration during his Köthen period.
First released: 1997
