Brandenburg Concertos

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Philharmonia Slavonica & Karel Brazda

The Brandenburg Concertos are a collection of six concertos by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach, presented in 1721. Scored for varying combinations of solo instruments and small ensembles, they exemplify Baroque concerto grosso practice with contrasts of timbre, virtuosic solo writing and inventive ensemble textures, and they reflect Bach's exploration of instrumental colour and formal variety at the time of the dedication to the Margrave of Brandenburg.
