C.P.E. Bach: Berlin Symphonies I [CD]

Arte dei Suonatori - C.P.E. Bach: Berlin Symphonies I [CD]

On their earlier recording, the Arte dei Suonatori ensemble and its dynamic conductor and harpsichordist Marcin Swiatkiewicz presented C.P.E. Bach's 'Hamburg' Symphonies (BIS-2459) - highly expressive and personal works. Nervous, full of unexpected twists and turns, surprises, contrasts and 'affects', they are, in a word, marked by Empfindsamkeit (heightened emotionality). This time, Arte dei Suonatori and Marcin Swiatkiewicz present six 'Berlin' Symphonies, composed between 1755 and 1758, that is, before the 'Hamburg' Symphonies.
