Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714 1788) has to be the most rewarding,
expressive, and entertaining of all the composers whose work fell
into obscurity in the years following his death. He was
overshadowed both by the rediscovery of his father, Johann
Sebastian, and by the rise of the classical composers Haydn,
Mozart, and Beethoven in Vienna. In his lifetime, however, he was
considered the great Bach, a musician of astonishing originality
and a true original genius. His contemporaries were right. Because
modern editions of C. P. E. Bach s music were few and far between,
it has been difficult for performers and record collectors to
assess and enjoy his achievement, but over the past two decades the
situation has begun to improve. His output was vast: 52 keyboard
concertos, a dozen and a half symphonies, hundreds of keyboard
sonatas and character pieces, and a wealth of songs, choral music,
and chamber works. Accompanied by a full-length Hanssler Classic CD
of the composer s finest and most representative works, this survey
offers a comprehensive overview of this magnificent,
all-but-unknown body of music and makes the case for regarding C.
P. E. as a true classic.
