EMPFINDSAM

2015/2020

​

"A truly original composer who freely goes his own way, untrammeled by custom or fashion" - this is how a critic described the second son of Johann Sebastian Bach, Carl Philipp Emanuel. The "Empfindsamer Stil" or "Empfindsamkeit" announced new winds to the overarching idea of the baroque period: expressing extreme emotions in order to move the spectator.

 

What better opportunity than C.P.E. Bach's 300th birthday to show that this music can still touch us?
