English Suites nos. 2 & 3

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Ivo Pogorelich

English Suites Nos. 2 and 3 are part of a set of solo keyboard suites by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed circa 1715–1720. They exemplify Baroque keyboard practice, combining ornate dance-based movements, intricate contrapuntal writing and virtuosic passagework for the harpsichord, and they reflect Bach's development of substantial solo keyboard repertoire that influenced later composers and performance practice.
