Concertos, Volume 2: Brandenburg Concertos, BWV 1046-1051
Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Bach Collegium Japan & Masaaki Suzuki
Concertos, Volume 2: Brandenburg Concertos is a collection of concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach, compiled and presented in 1721. The works exemplify Baroque concerto grosso practice, juxtaposing groups of soloists and ensemble with intricate counterpoint, vivid instrumental colours and ritornello-based structures, and they occupy a central place in Bach's instrumental oeuvre and the development of the Baroque concerto repertoire.
First released: May 2001
