Suites (Overtures), Volume 1: Nos. 1 - 2 (BWV 1066 and 1067)

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Capella Istropolitana & Jaroslav Krček

Suites (Overtures), Volume 1: Nos. 1 - 2 is a collection of orchestral suites by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in the early 18th century. The music exemplifies the Baroque suite form through a sequence of dance-based movements and rich orchestral textures featuring strings and winds, and it represents a core example of Bach's instrumental writing for court and chamber forces.
