The composer Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach has been rediscovered in recent years. Hardly any other label has done more for the composer's appreciation than Hanssler Classic. Now all, really all, of Hänsslers C.P.E. Bach recordings are in a sensational box.
Can one still underestimate Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach at all? Despite the jubilee year 2014, despite an unprecedented wave of CPE Bach new releases, it still does not hurt to point to the prominent Haydn quote: "anyone who knows me thoroughly must find that I owe much to Emanuel Bach".
Hardly any other label has made more for the distribution of Bach's music than Hänssler CLASSIC. This becomes all the more obvious by the publication of this most complete C.P.E. Bach edition so far. On 54 CDs you get an insight into symphonies, concerts, all sonatas as well as a wide selection of chamber music.
With artists such as Helmuth Rilling and Sir Roger Norrington, pioneers of historical performance practice are represented as well as the world stars Patrick Gallois and Julian Steckel or, of course, the great C.P.E. Bach specialists of the modern era such as Michael Rische and Ana-Marija Markovina. Also included are the acclaimed recordings of the Stuttgart chamber orchestra and the Camerata Salzburg.
