  • Description

    This recording combines three of the most significant musicians belonging to the generation of the empfindsame or "sentimental" style. As reaction to the late baroque of J.S. Bach and Handel, they systematically explore contrast and extreme juxtapositions in their compositions. This avant-garde style remained in fashion only for a short period but anticipated many pre-eminent aspects of the early romanticism. In this recording a harpsichord concerto by W.F. Bach (J.S. Bach's eldest son) is combined with two concertos by Bohemian composer G. Benda. They perfectly illustrate the empfindsame style, quickly oscillating between excitement and melancholy, furious frenzy and serene calm. The program concludes with major solo harpsichord pieces by C.P.E. Bach and a beautiful Adagio and Fugue for orchestra by W.F. Bach - showcasing the composer's ability in the stile antico.
