5.0 out of 5 stars Discover the other Bach, August 24, 2007

This review is from: C.P.E. Bach: Symphonies Nos. 1-4; Cello Concerto in A [Hybrid SACD] (Audio CD)

For years I have enjoyed my J.S. Bach recordings and wished that there would be new discoveries of his music, but for no particular reason I never ventured into the music of his son, C.P.E. Bach. I heard about this recording on the Minn. Public Radio podcast, "New Classical Tracts by Julie Amacher." It was reviewed and recommended there. I have found that podcast to be right-on about its recommendations. Wonderful music beautifully played. C.P.E., where have you been all my life.

This review is from: C.P.E. Bach: Symphonies Nos. 1-4; Cello Concerto in A [Hybrid SACD] (Audio CD)

I echo the praise of the reviewer above. This CD is a real treat - energetic performances of lively works that are, most of all, surprisingly forward looking. Andrew Manze conducts performances of a high standard. Highly recommended.
