The orchestral suite was written to entertain, and these three great examples do not disappoint, from the fluid orchestral sound of Rameau to the clean and crisp approach of his German contemporary, Johann Fux. And to round things off, one of Johann Sebastian Bach's very finest orchestral works: A tour de force of rhythm and melody.
