C.P.E. Bach: The Complete Solo Flute Sonatas

Released

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach was the most accomplished and celebrated of Johann Sebastian Bach’s many musically gifted children, and also the most stylistically adventurous and experimental of them. After his father’s death, C.P.E.’s reputation was, for a time, actually greater than his. This outstanding recording finds flutist Jed Wentz, cellist Job her Hair, and keyboardist Michael Borgstede performing all of C.P.E. Bach’s sonatas for flute and continuo; all are playing on period instruments, and Borgstede switches off between harpsichord and fortepiano, to excellent effect. This is wonderful music that anticipates the transition from the baroque to the classical era.
