Three Concertos from the Court at Berlin 1740 - 1745.......2007-05-26

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714 - 1788): The Complete Keyboard Concertos Volume 3, containing: 1. Concerto in G minor, H. 409 (Wq. 6) (original cadenza); 2. Concerto in A major, H. 411 (Wq. 8) (improvised cadenza); 3. Concerto in D major, H. 421 (Wq. 18) (improvised cadenza). Performed by Miklós Spányi, harpsichord (an instrument built by W. Stannat after Hieronymus Albre Hass, Hamburg 1734); Concerto Armonico (strings 7-2-1-1); directed jointly by Miklós Spányi and Péter Szüts (violin). Recorded in October 1995 at the Angyalföld Reformed Church in Budapest, Hungary, and published in 1996 as BIS CD-767. Total playing time: 68 minutes (but this includes half a minute of silence at the end of the CD).

This is the third volume of a long series of BIS recordings documenting the complete works for harpsichord and strings by the second son of Johann Sebastian Bach, Carl Philipp Emanuel. The notes in the CD booklets are provided by members of the team at the University of Maryland who are working on a complete edition of Emanuel Bach's works. Miklós Spányi has decided on the basis of his musical intuition which keyboard instrument to use in each instance - on this third volume we hear a copy of a large harpsichord by the North German instrument-maker Hieronymus Hass (the instrument is pictured on the back cover of the booklet). Spànyi has carefully compared the autograph manuscripts with later revisions by the composer himself (copies to be found in the Royal Conservatory of Brussels in Belgium), and here generally opts for the later versions (which, in one instance, involves him re-tuning the highest keys of his harpsichord).

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach was, in the eighteenth century, the one people meant when they spoke of "Bach". He was born when his father was 29 years old, spent his youth learning the musician's trade with his father in Leipzig and, at the age of 20, moved to Frankfurt an der Oder in order to study law (but where he also took charge of musical activities). In 1738 he moved again, this time to Berlin where he became harpsichordist at the Court of the future King of Prussia, Frederick (the Great) and where he published his famous theoretical treatise "Essay on the True Way of Playing the Keyboard". In 1768 he was called to be director of church music in the city of Hamburg, where he remained until his death. Altogether he wrote 64 works for keyboard and strings, but also many works for clavichord or harpsichord solo, for pianoforte, a good deal of chamber music, songs and sacred vocal works. His life spanned most of the 18th century, and his name is usually associated with the musical version of "Sturm und Drang" (infelicitously translated as "storm and stress") or "Empfindsamkeit" (sensibility). His works for keyboard and string ensemble are as important for the development of the piano concerto as are Haydn's symphonies for the classical symphony.

This third volume offers three concertos from Emanuel Bach's first years in Berlin (from around 1740 to 1745), so it has to be remembered that these were written while Johann Sebastian Bach was still alive and at a time which is generally considered still to belong to the baroque period. H. 409 and H. 411 both reflect this despite being very obviously different, the G minor concerto contrasting the harpsichord with the strings, and the A major harmonizing them as much as possible. What sticks out here in contrast to the earlier concertos on Vols. 1 and 2 are the expansive slow movements with their expressive harpsichord solo parts (the central movement of H. 409 is marked "Largo" and taken in a very measured way by Spányi and co.). The latest work on this CD, H. 421, has a decidedly more modern feeling about it, and I found it to be the one I enjoyed most here, perhaps because it does not immediately remind me of Johann Sebastian's harpsichord concertos but begins to enter a new era of "galanterie".

The recording is excellent provided you don't turn the volume up too loudly, meaning that the balance between harpsichord and strings is captured very naturally: the harpsichord, although louder than its sister the clavichord, is still not a loud instrument, and the tutti strings can make it seem, in contrast, a little reticent. But I found that the more I listened to this disc, the better I liked the sound, although I have had occasion before (commenting on Vol. 1) to question the wisdom of having seven violinists in the ensemble - Ludger Rémy and the Amis de Philippe manage with less, and the balance is pushed favourably towards the harpsichord. But having said that, this is a marvellous series and a great CD for anyone interested in the transition from baroque to classical as well as just being a source of real listening pleasure. He who has ears, let him hear!

Stunning concerti, brilliantly played & conducted.......2003-07-18

CPE Bach is not nearly as well-known as his father, but he deserves to be. He is the "missing link" between the Baroque period and the "Sturm und Drang" of the late Classical-erly Romantic, as much an influence on Haydn as he was on Haydn's pupil Beethoven. This music, like the Magnificat, shows very well how much he influenced an entire era of music, though oddly his fame died with him. Spanyi's playing has drive and lift, essential ingredients in interpreting CPE Bach.
