Episode #23 : CARL PHILIPP EMANUEL BACH: Passion and Easter Music

from Classical Discoveries · host Capriccio Records | Classical Music Podcast

You’ve heard of Johann Sebastian, but it’s Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach — the second‑oldest Bach son — who offers some of the richest, most expressive sacred and Passion‑season music of the late 18th century. In this episode, Jens and Joe re‑center C.P.E. Bach himself, using his sacred works and Passions not as seasonal novelties but as a window into the Galant style and the emotional world of the composer who bridged Baroque and Classical.Chapters0:22   Introduction1:29   The Who’s Who of the Bach Family7:45   God has raised the Lord, Wq 2449:42   C.P.E.
