Description

Bach's existence was characterized by "a quest for all that was best in his art to refine it in the fire of his genius," as noted in Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians. His exceptional command of rhythm and harmony, along with his inventive spirit and compositional brilliance, resulted in some of the most profound and exquisite music ever created. These attributes are particularly prominent in his early concerti, which rank among the most frequently recorded and performed pieces within the baroque canon.
