C. P. E. Bach: The Solo Keyboard Music, Vol. 29 – Miklós Spányi

With this disc, Miklós Spányi completes C.P.E. Bach’s set of ‘Zweyte Fortsetzung’ Sonatas, in itself a continuation of two previous sets (Wq 50 and 51). The composer himself clearly regarded the 18 sonatas of these sets as a major achievement. All of them are substantial works but the three included here might be considered the most diverse and original of the entire series.

Reviews

Gramophone Magazine June 2015

“Spányi is, as ever, a fastidious player, keenly attuned to Bach’s particular brand of Empfindsamkeit, especially in the quasi-improvisatory slow movements.

“Miklós Spányi’s choice of instruments makes this series so enjoyable. Whether it be fortepiano, tangent piano, or Emanuel’s favourite instrument, the clavichord, Spányi has the ability to bring this beautiful music to life…This is an excellent disc.
