Orchestral Suites Nos. 1-4

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Ton Koopman

Orchestral Suites Nos. 1–4 are a set of four orchestral suites by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed c. 1720–1725. They are Baroque orchestral works characterised by sequences of dance movements, overture-style openings and varied instrumental colour, reflecting Bach's focus on instrumental composition during his Köthen period and his contribution to the orchestral suite genre.
