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 XL and B’Rock Orchestra give shape to this music bursting with emotion.

This production is realized with the support of the Tax Shelter measure of the Belgian Federal Government through Flanders Tax Shelter.
