Product Description

From Amazon.com

J.S. Bach's favorite son--apparently a drunk and a difficult man--wrote handsome music of great rhythmic and harmonic variety, which this CD highlights. The harpsichord concerto is very rich, with the soloist and orchestra bickering back and forth nicely. The two Sinfonias differ in temperament: the D major is formal and elegant; the F major is more jumpy and entertaining. Similarly, the two adagios and fugues recorded here differ greatly. The one in F minor dazzles us by its close, while the D minor is severe but equally interesting. W.F. Bach sounds little like either his father or his better-known brother, C.P.E. Bach. He's quirkier and not at all predictable. The disc is full of surprises. --Robert Levine


Chronique amazon.fr

Autour de Jean-Sébastien, son entourage familial proche et lointain rassemblent près de soixante musiciens et interprètes ! Wilhelm Friedmann qu'un célèbre tableau de Weitsch représente comme un homme heureux et décontracté vécut de 1710 à 1784. Ce deuxième enfant et fils aîné du Cantor de Leipzig fut l'un des plus doués du clan Bach. En effet, son tempérament libre et sa fantaisie transparaissent jusque dans les deux Symphonies ainsi que dans le Concerto pour clavecin en mi mineur que Raphael Alpermann et l'Akademie für Alte Musik interprètent. On découvre un compositeur qui n'a pas grand rapport avec son père sur le plan du style bien qu'il ait tenté de perpétuer la tradition familiale. Wilhelm Friedmann fut un coloriste savoureux. Écoutez ces basses puissantes, les brusques silences et la brillance de son orchestre ! Les musiciens allemands s'en donnent à cœur joie, servis pas une prise de son d'une superbe chaleur. --Étienne Bertoli

5.0 out of 5 stars W. F. Bach: Symphonies, Harpischord Concerto, Har Mundi, Feb 2 2003
By Michael J. Carroll (Manchester, CT United States) - See all my reviews
I stumbled on this gem, when I was filling in for someone on a WWUH radio classical music program. Very listenable, excellent recording with exquisite detail. Harmonia Mundi knows how to bring the small chamber orchestra sound right into your living room. Akademie Fur Alte Musik's string section sounds pure and clean on my MB Quart 280's, and every note played on the clavicin and Fortepiano stands out with the rest of the orchestra in the background.
If you like music of the late Baroque period, played by a an ensemble of prize winning musicians, get this recording for your collection!
