Synopsis

Amazon.com essential recording

C.P.E. Bach was the second son of the great J.S. Bach, and in his day he was a far more famous composer than his father. His musical style is very exciting--full of sudden contrasts and emotional outbursts. One of his first patrons was Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, who was a flute player of no small accomplishment. These concertos reflect Bach's thorough familiarity with the king's instrument, and what makes this album so outstanding is the fact that the concertos have a much-higher-than-average musical quality. Naturally, Galway plays them to the hilt. --David Hurwitz

CD Reviews

Good sound

Stefano | Italy | 06/08/2006

(2 out of 5 stars)

"I have perhaps six performances of these concerts (Nicolet, Rampal, Adorjan, Gallois etc.) for I'm very fond of C. P. E. Bach music. I have to say that, notwithstanding the famous Galway's sound, this is not the performance I prefer and the Orchestra is not so good according my taste."
