Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach

  • Symphonies of the Bach Family span generations

    Mar 15th, 2022 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Berliner Barock Solisten, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Hänssler Classic, Johann Ernst Bach, Johann Ludwig Bach, Reinhard Goebel, Wilhelm Friedemann Bach

    This release presents symphonies by a veritable alphabet of Bachs: WF, CPE, JE, JCF, JL, and (of course) JS. It’s an excellent program, comprised of many seldom-heard works. The album opens with a symphony by Wilhelm Friedemann (WF) Bach. And it concludes with a sinfonia by his father, Johann Sebastian (JS) Bach. The two works make […]

  • Arthur Farwell – Listen, then Judge

    Jan 26th, 2022 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Arthur Farwell, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, CD Review, Chamber music, Classical music, contemporary classical music, Dakota String Quartet, Emanuele Arciuli, William Sharp

    The notes on the page don’t change. But our perception and reception of them can over time. This is why the release names Arthur Farwell “America’s Neglected Composer.” Farwell was passionate about developing an authentic American school of classical music. And he believed native American music to be an important part of that school. Farwell […]

  • Michael Rische plays C.P.E. Bach – No apologies necessary

    Apr 27th, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Berlin Barock Solisten, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, CD Review, Classical music, Concerto, Hanssler Classics, Michael Rische, Noteworthy Release

    In the liner notes for this release, pianist Michael Rische writes, “The musician of our time has in his mind, consciously or not, the musical thinking of Debussy and Ravel, of Schoenberg and Stravinsky, and of Messiaen and Ligeti – a large radius of musical experience that reaches into the present day and suddenly reverberates […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalShorts Week 1

    Feb 8th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Classical music, Claudio Monteverdi, Francisco Tarrega, Frederic Chopin, Fritz Kreisler, John Adams, Twitter

    February is the shortest month of the year. That fact inspired #ClassicsaDay team (of which I’m a member) to make short classical pieces the theme for the month. The challenge is to select stand-alone works, not movements of larger pieces. Participants post links to short classical pieces in the social media channel of their choice, […]

  • CPE Bach: Grosse Festkantaten – Simply Grand

    Mar 12th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Bernhard Klapprott, Cantus Thuringia, Capella Thuringia, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, CD Review, choral music, Classical music, CPO, Giullaume Olry, Margot Oitzinger, Mirko Ludwig, Monika Mauch

    It seems appropriate that these festival cantatas would be revived (and recorded) for a festival. The 300th anniversary of Carl Philipp Emanual (CPE) Bach’s birth prompted a music festival in Leipzig. The two cantatas on this release had not been performed since the occasions they were written for. “Ich will dem Herrn lobsingen” was written […]

  • CPE Bach Violin Sonatas – Transparent and lively masterworks

    Oct 16th, 2017 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Alpha, Amadine Beyer, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, CD Review, Chamber music, Edna Stern

    This reissue from 2005 features four violin and piano sonatas by Carl Philipp Emanual Bach. He wrote three while serving at the court of Frederick the Great. The other was an early work, miscredited to his father. CPE Bach composed the three 1763 sonatas while employed by King Frederick II, They reflect the atmosphere of […]

  • Forward-looking quartets by CPE Bach

    May 17th, 2017 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, CD Review, Chamber music, Classical, Classical music, Hänsler Classics, Ilia Korol, Linde Brunmayr-Tutz, Wolfgang Brunner

    According to one contemporary, CPE Bach’s quartets for clavier, flute, and viola were “whimsical, with crazy leaps, clownish modulations and often childish turns, together with the affectation of profound scholarship, all very finely teased out.” Wellll yes and no. Carl Philip Emmanual Bach wrote these quartets shortly before his death in 1788. They came at […]
