SUMMARY:Sebastian Knauer's Bach & Sons
DESCRIPTION:Johann Sebastian Bach Piano Concerto in D Major\, BWV 1054 \n\n\n\nJohann Christian Bach Piano Concerto in E-Flat Major\, Opus 7\, No. 5 \n\n\n\nCarl Philipp Emanuel Bach Piano Concerto in G Major\, Wq. 475 \n\n\n\nJohann Sebastian Bach Piano Concerto in G minor\, BWV 1058 \n\n\n\nPianist Sebastian Knauer and a string quintet take a musical journey from the Baroque to the Classical period\, in which the development of the piano concerto genre within the Bach family is shown in a fascinating way. Father Johann Sebastian was the first composer ever to give the piano/harpsichord a solo role alongside the orchestra. His sons Carl Philipp Emanuel\, Wilhelm Friedemann and Johann Christian masterfully continued this tradition\, and adapted their concertos both to contemporary taste and to innovations in musical instrument making. In this respect\, the Bach family made a significant contribution to the emancipation of the piano as a solo instrument in the mid-18th century on the way to Mozart. The Bach sons’ piano concertos in this program are rarities\, very rarely heard in concert. \n\n\n\n\nThis performance is sponsored by Mr. & Mrs. Curtis Anderson\, and Ron & Susan WhitakerThis performance is sponsored in part by Becky & Bill Keightley\, Dayle & Aaron Levy\, Steinway & Sons\, and Nina & Bill WeilPartial support provided by First City Capital ManagementPiano by Steinway & Sons

SUMMARY:Philip Dukes and Friends III: Brahms & Franck
