Let the musicologists and other critics analyze, discuss, and debate C.P.E. Bach's role as a Baroque/Classical, Classical/Romantic transitional figure--meanwhile the rest of us will simply enjoy the pure delight of "the Hamburg Bach's" music, exemplified in these five vibrant, curiously inventive, infinitely attractive, continuously surprising works. Let others worry about form--or lack thereof--or which style a particular work represents; the real pleasure comes with the listening. A great place to begin is with the E-flat major symphony (No. 2), where Bach's knack for weaving together a dazzling array of seemingly disparate elements into a cohesive and colorful if sometimes quirky fabric is on full display. The stop and start rhythmic/melodic patterns of the first movement are followed by the ardent emotion of the second, concluding with an energetic, Haydn-esque finale, which alternates emphatic, firm-footed rhythms with swirling string figures and delicately uttered asides by a few instruments. The cello concerto is a gem, a substantial work (20 minutes) that offers the soloist plenty of clever challenges in the fast movements while providing a slow movement of astonishing expressive intensity that transcends time, place, and stylistic formality. You will definitely want to hear this more than a few times.

Brilliant !
His performances are uneven so I cannot judge it until I listen to it but this is so energetic :)
For me 2nd pack of C.P.E. Bach's Symphonies next to Alfredo Bernardini, Riccardo Minasi and Wolfram Christ !
Many thanks
