5.0 out of 5 stars THIS MUSIC MAKES ME FLOAT, June 15, 2000

Of Bach's twenty kids, CPE was no slouch, musically, and had quite a romantic bent. These Sonatas for Flute and Harpsichord, as recorded on this CD, will whisk you away. I say "as recorded on this CD" for a good reason: the sound quality is so... ethereal... that it simply mesmerizes and transports one. The music, not at all staid in the standard baroque manner, is quite forward-looking and warm. It's sunny for a beautiful day, or, just as readily, ruminative and perfect for kicking back during an afternoon rain. Ah, the glories of CPE's music! And the melodies. And the sound Naxos gives us in this beautiful recording.... all to revel in. For the little money it takes to feel THIS good, this is a simple, affordable pleasure. Cripes! Life's hard enough as it is.

I do not know these pieces well and have only heard music by this son of the illustrious father occasionally throughout my life. I like them and find them entertaining in a "light" sort of fashion. I bought them recently and have only listened to them once..so, not ready to form an opinion as yet. As to the quality of the recordings, however, top notch. Glad to have them in my collection and am sure the father is smiling down on them (proudly).
