About this product
As Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach published successive collections of the Kenner und Liebhaber series, he explored new genres and styles. In the second collection he added his idiosyncratic rondos, and in the fourth he included free fantasias. The fifth collection, composed between 1779 and 1784, contains no new genres, but displays more variety in terms of textures and thematic ideas than any of the previous volumes. In fact, Bach's preoccupation with variation is almost obsessive - it is as if he cannot finish phrases without varying either texture, tonality, rhythmic pulse or dynamics. To the six Sonatas, Rondos and Fantasias that make up the collection, Miklos Spanyi adds two independent works. Bach initially composed 17 variations on the folk-like tune Ich schlief, da traumte mir in 1752 (included in Vol. 19 of this series) but returned to it almost twenty years later, publishing seven new variations. Closing the album is another set of variations, now on an original theme, an Arioso sostenuto in A major. Miklos Spanyi began his survey of the Kenner und Liebhaber collections on the clavichord but the following releases have featured the tangent piano. And 35 albums into this monumental series, individual volumes are still being warmly greeted, for instance on EarlyMusicReview. Com where the reviewer of Volume 32 (BIS-2205) professed to be 'invariably struck not only by the originality of C. P. E. Bach's keyboard writing, but also the high level of performance consistently maintained by Miklos Spanyi. '

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach published the first collection in his series 'for Connaisseurs and Amateurs' in 1779, at the age of 65, and the sixth and final in 1787, a year before his death. Throughout the series he continues to develop the three genres which are featured in it - sonata, rondo and fantasia. In the sixth collection, the fantasias and rondos continue to resemble each other in structure and in stylistic features abrupt tempo changes, disruptive rhythms, and constant harmonic non sequiturs. Bach gives them ample dimensions, but as in previous collections he continues to reduce the length of the sonatas, to the point that Sonata No. 1 is the shortest work of the collection, although it is in three distinct movements. On this amply-filled album, Miklós Spányi also includes four other works from Carl Philipp's last decade which in various ways underline the composer's boundless curiosity. The Sonata in G major, Wq 65/48 was composed for an experimental keyboard instrument with a bowing device coupled to it - a 'Bogenclavier' - while Bach in the set of variations Wq 118/9 gives us his own take on La Folia, the harmonic scheme that almost a century earlier had inspired composers such as Corelli, Marin Marais and Vivaldi, as well as his own father, in the famous 'Peasant Cantata'.

No need to wait for the behind the scenes story that created the success, it's already here! Tyscot asked Anthony Brown (of ANTHONY BROWN & group therAPy) to produce the sophomore album by Ruth LaOntra! After a face-to-face meeting between Brown & Ruth, the deal was sealed as Anthony was floored by her voice, energized by her potential & agreed. Not only did Brown produce, he also wrote seven songs, co-wrote one with Ruth & another with his production partner Justin Savage; thus the album I GOT YOU was born!
