En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Symphonie en si bémol majeur, Wq 182/ 2

The Cleveland Orchestra celebrates CPE Bach's 300th birthday, along with works by Vaňhal, Beethoven and Haydn in performances of utmost clarity.

Kirill Karabits’ imaginative programme revealed CPE Bach as a difficult composer to place, with a symphony bearing all the hallmarks of a young Mozart and an ode with pre-echoes of Haydn’s The Creation, counterbalanced by the UK première of his 1784 St John Passion where, in the chorales at least, CPE demonstrated that he was a chip off the old block.
