CPE Bach eclipsed his legendary father’s fame to become the mid-18th century’s leading German composer. This wide-ranging collection of symphonies, concertos and vocal works by the great forerunner of Haydn and Mozart is performed by authoritative interpreters, including Trevor Pinnock and The English Concert: “The evident delight of the musicians in this music makes for rewarding listening ... Impressive and fascinating” (International Record Review).
