Orchestral Suites nos. 1, 3, & 4

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Bath Festival Orchestra & Yehudi Menuhin

Orchestral Suites Nos. 1, 3 and 4 are orchestral suites by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1717–1723. They exemplify Baroque orchestral writing, combining a French-style overture with a sequence of dance movements for strings and continuo with occasional wind and brass, and they represent Bach's secular orchestral output from his Köthen years.
