I 6 concerti brandeburghesi

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & I Solisti Del Teatro Alla Scala & Claudio Abbado

The Six Brandenburg Concertos (I 6 concerti brandeburghesi) are a set of six instrumental concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach, presented to the Margrave of Brandenburg in 1721. They exemplify the Baroque concerto grosso and solo concerto idioms, featuring diverse instrumental combinations, virtuosic solo passages and intricate counterpoint, and illustrate Bach's exploration of instrumental colour and compositional technique during his early 18th-century career.
First released: 1992
