Johann Sebastian Bach had many sons. Four of them are of particular importance in the history of Western music: Wilhelm Friedemann, Carl Philipp Emanuel, Johann Christoph Friedrich and Johann Christian. By developing and reshaping their father's legacy, they represent important milestones on the way from the baroque to the classical style. They are part of the Enlightenment and in some respects herald the Sturm und Drang and pre-Romanticism. The Bach Academy programme presents some excerpts from the compositions of these four great composers, all of whom are in their own way bearers of a new aesthetic and remarkable philosophical aspirations. We will begin the concert with the more modern scores, then we will turn back time over four decades and end with the music of the Leipzig cantor, as a kind of return to the roots; the sources of our common, timeless and universal musical heritage.
