Spanyi:Concerto Armonico - Bach: Keyboard Concertos Vol 18

Miklos Spanyi continues his traversal of the keyboard concertos of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, a series which in Gramophone has been called a 'unique monument to one of the 18th century's most underrated composers'.Spanyi joins forces with the Hungarian period band Concerto Armonico, and together they offer us the first four works in a set of six, the Sei Concerti per il cembalo concertato.Composed during the early 1770s, the Sei Concerti were among the few concertos that C.P.E. Bach didn't write specifically for himself to play. Bach's aim was to make the works appealing to both players and listeners. For these works, Miklos Spanyi has chosen to perform the solo part on a harpsichord, a copy of an instrument from 1745 by the Antwerp builder Joannes Daniel Dulcken.
