Info for Symphonies of the Bach Familiy

Family portrait: Every generation creates its own forms of expression Often, this happens in abrupt rejection of what has gone before And not infrequently, the provocative gestures in which a new attitude to life is articulated disappear again just as quickly as they appeared Such thoughts may also have moved Johann Sebastian Bach when, in the early 1740s, his two eldest sons took up the genre of the symphony, which had come from Italy and was accompanied by a novel treatment of the orchestra and compositional technique Together with their generational peers, they created an independent line of tradition that was later referred to by music historians as the “symphony of the North German school” Johann Abraham Peter Schulz described the essence of the symphony in Johann Georg Sulzer’s ‘General Theory of the Fine Arts’ (1771-1774) in the following words: “The chamber symphony achieves its final aim wholly through a sonorous, brilliant and fiery style of writing The allegros contain great and bold thoughts, free treatment of the movements, apparent disorder in melody and harmony, strong and significant rhythms of various kinds, strong bass melodies and unisons, sudden transitions and digressions from one tone to another, which are all the more striking the flimsier their connection often is In addition, there is the art of combining all the voices in and with each other in such a way that their combination allows only a single melody to be heard, which is not capable of any accompaniment, but to which each voice contributes only its own sound ”

"In addition one work by the patriarch, this CD features compositions by his sons, a nephew, and a distant relative. Reinhard Goebel and the Berlin Baroque Soloists invest themselves fully in the music. Joy of playing and elastic-gestural virtuosity come into their own as well as the serious serenity of some movements. The perfect balance between the instrumental groups is striking, but the inner instrumental coherence is also stupendous: each string team actually plays ‘as one man’. The fact that spontaneity is fully preserved in this technical refinement shows how outstandingly well the various works have been rehearsed. The sound produced is clear and at the same time of pleasant fullness. The sound engineers have also given their best." (Remy Franck, pizzicato.lu)
