Brandenburg Concertos nos. 4-6

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Slovenský komorný orchester Bohdana Warchala & Bohdan Warchal

Brandenburg Concertos nos. 4–6 are a set of three concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach, compiled and dedicated in 1721 as part of his collection of six Brandenburg Concertos. They exemplify the Baroque concerto grosso idiom, featuring virtuosic solo writing for strings and winds, contrasting concertante groups and inventive contrapuntal textures, and occupy the latter half of the collection, reflecting Bach's exploration of instrumental colour and ensemble interplay in his early 18th-century output.

First released: 1997
