The English Suites

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Zhu Xiao-Mei

The English Suites is a collection of six keyboard suites by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed c. 1715–1720. The music is within the Baroque suite tradition for keyboard, with a sequence of dance movements, extended contrapuntal writing, ornamented melodic lines and passages that demand technical control and interpretive nuance, and it dates from Bach's early to middle keyboard period when he expanded keyboard forms and practice.
