Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 in G major / Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 in D major / Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 in B flat major

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Hamburger Symphoniker & Gabor Ötvös

The Brandenburg Concertos are a collection of concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach, presented as a published set in 1721. These three concertos exemplify Baroque concerto grosso practice, juxtaposing groups of solo instruments with full ensemble textures and combining dance-derived rhythms, intricate counterpoint and virtuosic instrumental writing that reflect Bach's engagement with Italian and German concerto traditions within his mature output.
