Bach Orchestral Suites Nos. 1 - 3

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

Orchestral Suites Nos. 1–3 are a set of orchestral suites by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed c. 1717–1723. They exemplify Baroque orchestral suite form, combining French overture-style openings with contrasting dance movements and varied orchestral colour, and they occupy a central place in Bach's instrumental output and the ensemble repertoire of the period.
