Concertos for 2, 3 & 4 Harpsichords

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Musica Amphion

Concertos for 2, 3 & 4 Harpsichords is a collection of concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed c. 1730–1740. They are examples of Baroque concerto form combining multiple harpsichord soloists with strings and continuo, featuring dense contrapuntal textures and the interplay between soloists and ensemble that reflects Bach's exploration of concerto grosso principles within his instrumental output.
First released: 26th January 2007
