About this event

This year marks the 300th anniversary of the birth of C. P. E. Bach. Second son of J. S. Bach and godson of George Philipp Telemann, he was also the most musically rebellious of the younger Bachs, propelling music from the Baroque style of his father鈥檚 time into the Classical era. When Mozart wrote, 鈥楤ach is the father, we the children鈥�, he was referring not to Johann Sebastian but Carl Philipp Emmanuel.

Baroque violinist Rachel Podger is joined by musical friends in a programme to explore the weird and wonderful musical world of this fascinating musician. At its core is the extraordinary and unpredented C minor Trio Sonata 鈥� an instrumental dialogue between a 鈥榮anguine鈥� man and a 鈥榤elancholic鈥�, in which each tries to persuade the other to change his mood.

There will be no interval
