Overview

This elegant release from Naxos explores the highly expressive, transitionary keyboard domain of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, a pivotal figure who bridged the gap between the Baroque era and the High Classical style. Recorded in l'Eglise du Bon Secours in Paris in September 1996, the album features acclaimed French pianist François Chaplin rendering a brilliant selection of C. P. E. Bach's definitive Keyboard Sonatas. Spanning across his influential G major, A major, B flat major, and E minor sonata groupings, this program highlights the structural depth, unexpected emotional contrasts, and "sensitive style" (Empfindsamer Stil) that deeply impacted the keyboard music of both Haydn and Mozart.
