Carl Philip Emanuel BachSymphonies For Hamburg
Solamente Naturali, Didier Talpain
Brilliant Classics 94042
This CD 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. 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. Brilliant performances on period instruments by Solamente Naturali, an exciting group of early music players from Bratislava. New recordings, extensive liner notes by specialist Didier Talpain.
