The second of four Bach Orchestral Suites was written to highlight the flute. Bach actually called these pieces "Overtures" and that was the opening for each of the four suites ... an overture, followed by a formulaic group of songs ... usually including several dances. Suite 2, in d minor (BWV 1067) ends with what is perhaps the most challenging flute piece and no one delivers this better than Neville Marriner's Academy of St. Martin in the Fields:
Bach Orchestral Suite #2 in d Minor (Marrier)
