C. P. E. Bach
Even though Johann Sebastian is regarded as the Dean of Baroque composers these days, it was actually his sons who received most of the limelight during their lives. Bach son number two, Carl Philipp Emanuel, began his career as member of Frederick the Great's royal court and eventually was regarded as one of the greatest composers in Europe, even by Mozart. We'll hear a work from C.P.E.'s early days, as cellist extraordinaire Anner Bylsma performs the Cello Concerto in A; Gustav Leonhardt leads the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.
We have an eclectic program for the later hours, ranging from Erik Satie to less familiar works by Rennaissance British composer Anthony Holborne, jazz composer James P. Johnson and contemporary Brazilian composer Brenno Blauth. Rounding out the evening are favorite works by Chopin and Ravel, as well as dances (for piano) by Alberto Ginastera.
