Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach – the son of – left his own mark on music history, one that can’t be neglected. As a composer at the crux of the Baroque and classical periods, his pieces are bursting with expressivity and a rapid succession of sharp contrasts.

His Symphony in E minor is no exception, as he ramps up the drama with sudden silences. In the Magnificat, he sets himself against his father. CPE delivers a moving work that transports its audiences.

Vox Luminis and B’Rock give shape to this music bursting with emotion.
