English Suites nos. 2, 4 & 5

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Murray Perahia

English Suites Nos. 2, 4 & 5 are keyboard suites by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed circa 1715–1720. They exemplify Baroque keyboard music with sequences of dance-based movements, contrapuntal textures and ornate ornamentation intended for harpsichord or other clavier instruments, and they occupy an important place in Bach's early mature output as examples of his synthesis of French, Italian and English stylistic elements.
