CPE Bach: The Symphonies for Strings - Trevor Pinnock

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach
The Symphonies for Strings
The English Concert, Trevor Pinnock
Archiv 00289 477 5000

. . . the evident delight of the musicians in this music makes for rewarding listening . . .

There are times when C. P. E. Bach's music can seem downright strange, and the great success of Pinnock's performances is that while the oddness is well and truly present, so is an overall sense of direction and purpose. An impressive and fascinating disc.
