C.P.E. Bach: Symphonies for Hamburg - CD

ENGLISH

<br><br>This release presents the 4 symphonies that Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach wrote during his stay in Hamburg. In these large-scale works the string section is extended with 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 horns and bassoon, instruments which are treated quasi solistically, so that one can almost speak of a Sinfonia Concertante. <br /> <br /> The musical language is clearly “Sturm und Drang”, full of vehement dynamics and changes of sentiment, the fingerprint of this most famous son of Johann Sebastian. <br /> <br /> Brilliant performances on period instruments by Solamente Naturali, an exciting group of early music players from Bratislava.<br /> <br /> Other information:<br /> - Includes extensive liner notes by specialist Didier Talpain. <br />
