The Brandenburg Concertos

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Concerto Copenhagen & Lars Ulrik Mortensen

The Brandenburg Concertos are a set of six concertos by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach, compiled and presented as a collection in 1721. Rooted in the Baroque concerto grosso tradition, they feature varied and often unconventional combinations of instruments, energetic contrapuntal writing and virtuosic solo passages, and exemplify Bach's synthesis of contemporary instrumental styles within his instrumental output.
First released: 2nd November 2018
