C.P.E. Bach: Keyboard Sonatas, Vol. 1 - Danny Driver

The pianist Danny Driver has garnered the highest possible praise for his two York Bowen albums on Hyperion. Now he turns to a composer from a very different age—yet one who has been similarly overlooked by the musical establishment, while always having a place in the heart of connoisseurs of arcane keyboard music. Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714–1788), second son of Johann Sebastian, was both revered and criticized by his contemporaries for his bold departures from conventional modes of musical expression.
