This CD brings together six sonatas that remained, with one exception, unpublished in the composer's lifetime. Each one is taken from a different decade of his working life, so the recording offers an excellent brief guide to the development of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach's style. It also rescues some remarkable music from obscurity.
"This anthology of sonatas composed in the five decades from 1735 to 1783, that with one exception remained unpublished in Bach’s lifetime, offers a less familiar resumé of his extraordinarily varied career. Cerasi beautifully gauges the music’s natural weight and vividly delineates the extempore freedom and subtle impressionistic colours of this master. A revelatory programme."
(BBC Music Magazine)
"Carole Cerasi is on her way to joining the pantheon of grandes dames of the clavecin world renowned for their elegant playing. If you have her first CD, you’ll want to have this one as well"
(Early Music Review)
"This disc is purely pleasurable, the clarity of the performance matched by an admirably lucid sound quality"
