Violin Concertos

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Deutsche Bachsolisten & Helmut Winschermann & Christian Altenburger

Violin Concertos is a collection of violin concertos by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach, composed circa 1717–1723. These Baroque works feature contrapuntal textures, virtuosic solo violin writing with continuo and orchestral accompaniment, and reflect Bach's engagement with concerto form as he integrated Italian concerto principles into his own contrapuntal style.
First released: 15th August 1990
