About
The collection offers a rewarding opportunity to follow the stylistic evolution of organ music from the decades before J.S. Bach's birth through to the creative years of his sons and their younger distant cousin, Johann Ernst, each of whom witnessed the decline of Baroque complexity in favour of Classical balance and grace and conformed to this new trend to varying degrees.
The other strand that can be traced in this set is the musical 'DNA' of a clan, whose members were taught by family elders, inherited compositions from them, and who studied and copied the works of their cousin contemporaries, creating a family school of impressive quality. Internal musical borrowing between the Bachs was such that musicologists are still unraveling the mystery of some works' true authorship, as well as identifying pieces by other composers, who borrowed the Bach name in hopes of attaining a share of their glory.
This set presents organ music by uncles, nephews and children of Johann Sebastian: Heinrich, Johann Christoph, Johann Bernhard, Johann Friedrich, Johann Lorenz, Wilhelm Friedemann, Carl Philipp Emanuel and Johann Ernst. The booklet cover features an illustrated Bach family tree.
All of the organ music is attributed to:
• Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
• his sons Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714-1788) and
• Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (1710-1784)
• his cousin’s son Johann Lorenz Bach (1695-1773)
• his second cousin Johann Bernhard Bach I (1676-1749) and
• son Johann Ernst Bach II (1722-1777)
• his great uncle Heinrich Bach (1615-1692) and his sons
• Johann Michael Bach I (1648-1694) and
• Johann Christoph Bach I (1642-1703) and his son
• Johann Friedrich Bach I (1682-1730)
as well as works of uncertain attribution
