The Six Brandenburg Concertos

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center

The Six Brandenburg Concertos are a set of six concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach, compiled and presented in 1721. Rooted in the Baroque concerto grosso tradition, they feature contrasting combinations of soloists and orchestra, varied instrumental colours and intricate contrapuntal writing, and they occupy a significant place in Bach's instrumental output, illustrating his approaches to orchestration and counterpoint.
