Brandenburg Concerto nos. 1, 2 & 3

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Philharmonia Slavonica & Karel Brazda

The Brandenburg Concertos nos. 1, 2 & 3 are three of a set of six concertos for various soloists by the German composer Johann Sebastian Bach, compiled and presented in 1721. They exemplify the Baroque concerto grosso tradition with varied and sometimes unconventional instrumentation, contrasting solo groups against the larger ensemble and featuring intricate counterpoint, rhythmic vitality and notable textural variety within Bach's instrumental writing.
