Bach, C.P.E.: Berlin Symphonies Wq 174, 175, 178-181

Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne;
Zacharias, Christian

MDG 940 1824-6

Phenomenal prelude to the CPE Bach Year 2014 Christian Zacharias and the Orchester de Chambre de Lausanne an extraordinary success story. Finally, the Dream Team has again recorded a symphonic program and shows with the Berlin Symphonies of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach a liveliness and expressive intensity that is second to none. Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach was a harpsichordist in the service of Frederick the Great. The creative atmosphere in the environment of the art-minded king attracted numerous musicians of rank and name and provided for an opulent flowering of instrumental music. The fact that Johann Sebastian Bach's second son was much more famous during his lifetime than his father did not come about by chance: his music is modern and clearly future-oriented, and the transition from Baroque Concerto to the symphony of classical music can be emulated perfectly in his Berlin symphonies.
