Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach’s music never ceases to amaze us, thanks to its constant inventiveness and the harmonic discoveries that are as innovative as they are at times incongruous. Berlin’s Akademie für Alte Musik graces us with this selection of seven symphonies composed at the end of the Baroque period for the musical scenes of Berlin and Hamburg. C.P.E. Bach, much like his colleague Haydn who so admired him, is one of the pioneers, one of the trailblazers of this new style of music derived from the Baroque sonata. C.P.E. Bach approaches music, first and foremost, with a sensitivity that follows the precepts of German empfindsamkeit (“sentimentalism”), which resisted the French rationalism of Enlightenment thinkers from 1715 onwards. The composer reached the peak of his renown upon composing his symphonies with such unsurpassed ease and consummate artfulness. We know nothing of the circumstances surrounding these creations, which were probably played in the court or royal salons. One can only admire their excellence, as is evidenced by, for example, the “Symphony in E Minor,” which achieved wide recognition thanks to its solemnity, which made a considerable impression on its first listeners. This exquisite program ends with the body of symphonic works written by Bach’s son for the famous baron Gottfried van Swieten, to whom music owes a great deal, as he inspired not only Carl Philipp Emanuel, but also Haydn and Mozart. © François Hudry/Qobuz
