Veritas x2 is a series from Virgin Classics devoted to landmark recordings of early Baroque music. Bach's Orchestral Suites are among the only true orchestral works he wrote for a chamber ensemble. These works were also some of the most French-inspired of all of Bach's compositions. Not only do they sound distinctly French but the movements are named in French.
