Brandenburg Concertos

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Bach Collegium Japan & Masaaki Suzuki

The Brandenburg Concertos are a collection of six concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach, compiled and presented in 1721. They exemplify Baroque instrumental writing, employing varied combinations of solo instruments against an orchestral ripieno in concerto grosso and solo-concerto forms, and form Bach's principal surviving set of orchestral concertos that illustrate his contrapuntal technique and diverse instrumental colour within the Baroque concerto repertoire.
