C.P.E. Bach: Symphony in G, Wq.182/1; Symphony in G, Wq.173; Symphony in E, Wq.182/6; Symphony in E flat, Wq.179
Having an entire concert of mid-19th century symphonies is obviously a good way to really get through the 366 (I was never planning to do them exactly one a day, but I didn't want to get too far ahead of myself).
These were enjoyable performances by the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and Roger Norrington, but I would be lying if I found all the music distinctive. That said, with time and patience, I am sure I would start to recognise the works individually. I particularly liked the last movement of Wq.182/1 and Wq.182/6 so perhaps that was the point in his career when CPE Bach was writing for me. On the whole pleasant diversion, but I doubt I will be buying the CDs.
