Musical Delight - Zu Besuch bei Familie Bach (CD)
A visit to the Bach family – this could have been a fictional story: Father Bach invites his family to a musical gathering. Three of his sons – Carl Philipp Emanuel, Wilhelm Friedemann, and Johann Christoph Friedrich – present a few samples of their work. Johann Sebastian's music also plays. Perhaps a few musician friends are also among the select group, helping to transform the notes into music? Nothing of the sort has been handed down, but it is certain that JS Bach always opened his home to those interested in music, and that chamber music and music-making played an important role at home. All of his children received more or less intensive music lessons from him; all sang in choirs or learned to play instruments.
The recording producer of this recording is Grammy Award winner Renate Wolter-Seevers, who has preserved the wonderful interpretations of Bach's works in an outstanding sound.
