Bach and His Two Sons\n\nAn album featuring works by J.S. Bach and his two sons. Based in Hamburg, the “Elbipolis Baroque Orchestra” has performed with the Cologne Philharmonic and as part of the NDR series “Das Alte Werk,” and and is a group of early music specialists that is also a regular at the Handel Festivals in Halle and Göttingen, as well as the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival.\n\nW.F. Bach’s Sinfonia for String Ensemble (Fk 67) begins with an opening movement that blends a graceful, traditional French-style overture featuring dotted rhythms with Gallant-style harmony and dynamic contrasts; this is followed by a gentle second movement in D minor, a lively, finale-like third movement, and concludes with a fourth movement that is a two-part minuet. It appears to have been one of the composer’s proudest works, as a harpsichord version also survives.\n\nC.P.E. Bach’s Sinfonia for Strings (Wq. 182-3) is one of six works known as the “Hamburg Symphonies,” which he was able to compose freely without concern for the performers’ technical abilities. The composer’s creativity explodes in this piece, with strangely inventive musical ideas unfolding dynamically. It consists of three breathless movements, with the opening Allegro characterized by its technically demanding treatment of the violin.\nKing International\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Challenge Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595560771873,"sku":"608917296020","price":23.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/608917296020.jpg?v=1790481656","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-fr\/products\/608917296020","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
