About this product
In Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach's catalogue, the music for solo keyboard and the chamber music occupy central positions. In his youth, Carl Philipp Emanuel, who was left-handed, did not play string instruments such as the violin or viola, but rather the harpsichord and organ (not to overlook the flute). It was as a harpsichordist that, in 1738, he joined the entourage of the future King of Prussia, Frederick II, before following him to Berlin upon his accession two years later and then formally entering his service. In 1767, he was offered the succession of his godfather, Telemann, as director of music in Hamburg. He arrived in the Hanseatic city in March 1768, and for the last twenty years of his life, it was church music that occupied much of his time and effort. The symphonies of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach are all in three movements, quite often linked without a break. Highly original and typical of north Germany, the symphonies turn their back on the style gallant, on Johann Stamitz, founder of the Mannheim School, and on the Viennese style. The Concerto in A major was originally written for harpsichord and strings, but was later transcribed for cello by the composer, likely for the cellist Christian Friedrich Schale, who hosted a Musikalische Assemblee in his Berlin home every week.

Violinist Marco Fusi joined the project in 2024, shaping the work into an ambitious solo performance. The project interweaves recordings of Arctic environments and marine life with musical improvisation, offering a glimpse into the remote and fragile underwater world.

C.P.E. Bach Keyboard Symphonies / Andrea Chezzi / Composer Carl Philipp Emmanuel Bach / Performer Andrea Chezzi / Number of Discs 1. Andrea Chezzi is a solo harpsichordist and organist based in Parma, where he is titular organist for the Church of Santa Maria Annunziata in Mezzano Rondani in the Comune di Colorno, Parma, artistic director of the comune's cultural association La Compagnia del Lorno, and a founding member of the Giuseppe Serassi cultural association for the appreciation of organs and early instruments. Rarely recorded arrangements and repertoire. The symphonies by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach span the bridge between the Baroque and the Classical period. They are relatively short 3 movement works and abound in originality, caprice and virtuosity. In order to satisfy the need of the upcoming class of bourgeois amateur players he transcribed several of these symphonies for harpsichord solo, altering or omitting little or nothing, and fully preserving the boldness and drama of the original. After all Carl Philipp was a phenomenal harpsichord player himself... Italian keyboard player Andrea Chezzi plays these works with full drive and conviction on a magnificent harpsichord of orchestral allure. New recording, released to coincide with the great upsurge of interest in C.P.E. Bach on the 300th anniversary of his birth. Album Tracks 1. Allegro Assai 2. Andante 3. Allegretto 4. Allegro Assai 5. Andante 6. Tempo Di Minuetto 7. Allegro 8. Andante 9. Presto 10. Allegro Assai 11. Andante 12. Allegro

This is Emanuele Cardi's fourth album for Brilliant Classics after recordings which display this talented organist's wide musical sympathies and talents. InchHe is a great connoisseur of Baroque repertoire,Inch noted the Spanish magazine Codalario of Cardi's Neapolitan album, Inchand it shows in his ability to give these pieces such native color this is a remarkable album.Inch On this occasion he has recorded an album which concludes with Bach's most famous yet possibly most spurious work for organ, the Toccata and Fugue in D minor, whose Italianate flourishes surely have their origin in a work for violin, whether or not by Bach himself. In fact an aesthetic conversation between Italy and Germany underlies the character of the album as a whole. Kittel, Krebs and Vogler were pupils of J.S. in Leipzig, and their work featured here is indebted to a greater or lesser extent to the example of their master; whereas his most talented son, C.P.E., struck out boldly in new directions of harmony and voicing, as demonstrated here by a C minor Fantasy and Fugue and the substantial A minor Sonata. The cousin of Pachelbel, Walther, like Bach, made many transcriptions for organ of concertos by Vivaldi and his contemporaries such as Corelli and Torelli. Walther's own concerto is a scintillating piece of dancing counterpoint in that tradition, marking quite a contrast to the chorale-based music of Bach's pupils in the first half of the album.
