Special release commemorating the 300th birthday C. P. E. Bach (1714-1788)
A set of 5 CDs comprising the extraordinary Six Collections for Connoisseurs and Amateurs (1779–1787) is now be available. The 37 sonatas, free fantasias, and rondos are performed on harpsichord, clavichord, and fortepiano by Preethi de Silva (“Her performance of C. P. E. Bach’s works is nothing short of perfect.”––Fanfare magazine). Cover images are by the composer’s son, J. S. Bach the Younger. The first CD was released by Centaur Records in May 2013 and the series is now complete.
See excerpt from review in Fanfare magazine, January 2014:
I cannot overstate just how fine this album is. On the front cover of the CD it says, “Six Collections of Sonatas, Free Fantasias and Rondos for Connoisseurs and Amateurs,” undoubtedly a title that Carl Philipp gave to these sets of pieces. On the back of the CD insert it says “First Collection (Leipzig 1779).” Does this portend a continuing series of C.P.E. by de Silva? Let us hope so!
