Orchestral suites

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Il Fondamento & Paul Dombrecht & Dirk Vandaele

The Orchestral Suites are a set of four orchestral suites by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in the early 18th century (c. 1720s). They are instrumental Baroque works that combine French overture form with dance movements and use strings and winds, and they were written during Bach's years of court and municipal service when he wrote much instrumental music.
