Classical Matters

Two composers discussed in this episode. A Bach from Berlin and a Bach competitor: Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach and Christoph Graupner. One day Graupner with Telemann and Sebastian Bach were in the race to become director of the Thomaskantor in Leipzig. Graupner’s vocal work is making a come-back. Then there is the cello of Jean- Guihen made by Gioffredo Cappa in 1696. Here we hear one of the three cello concerts by Bach’s second son Carl Philipp Emanuel.
