4 Orchestral Suites

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Concentus Musicus Wien & Nikolaus Harnoncourt

Four Orchestral Suites is a set of four orchestral suites by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1717–1723. They exemplify the Baroque orchestral suite, pairing French-style overtures with sequences of dance movements and varied orchestral colouring for strings and winds, and they occupy an important place in Bach's instrumental output from his early 18th-century period.
