Program - C. P. E. Bach Cello Concertos ("Sensibility")

The tempestuous and dramatic cello concertos of C. P. E. Bach, full of fragmented and blustery exchanges, bear witness to his vigorous imagination. A generation earlier, Antonio Vivaldi wrote highly-inventive concertos for strings at the Le Pietà conservatory in Venice. In Vivaldi and Bach’s music, emotions are fleeting and instantaneous and, above all, the beauty of melody is emphasized.
