Brandenburg Concertos nos. 4, 5 & 6

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Los Angeles Philharmonic & Pinchas Zukerman

The Brandenburg Concertos Nos. 4, 5 & 6 are a set of concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach, published in 1721. They exemplify Bach's mature Baroque style and his use of the concerto grosso format, juxtaposing virtuosic solo parts with intricate counterpoint and varied instrumental colours, and form part of the collection he presented to the Margrave of Brandenburg, reflecting his exploration of orchestral textures within his career.
First released: 1993
