Musikalisches Opfer

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Concentus Musicus Wien & Nikolaus Harnoncourt

Musikalisches Opfer is a collection of instrumental pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed and first presented in 1747. Rooted in the Baroque contrapuntal tradition, the work assembles canons, a large ricercar and chamber movements based on a single royal theme, showcasing dense polyphony and meticulous voice-leading that reflect Bach's late-career engagement with learned counterpoint and courtly musical exchange.
