Les Six Concerts Brandenbourgeois

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Le Concert des Nations & La Capella Reial de Catalunya & Jordi Savall

Les Six Concerts Brandenbourgeois is a set of six concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed and presented to the Margrave of Brandenburg in 1721. The works exemplify Baroque concerto writing, employing varied instrumental groupings, virtuosic solo passages and intricate counterpoint, synthesising Italian concerto grosso models with German contrapuntal technique and occupying a central place in Bach's instrumental output.
First released: 1991
