Eric HoeprichAbout
The works for wind sextet recorded here, his Sei Sinfonia, were published in London, posthumously, in 1782. The Sei Sinfonia adopt the structure of a Classical symphony with four movements in the usual order: opening allegros are in sonata form, followed by lovely, inventive adagios and either a minuet or a march, and ending with terse, quick movements, often in two.
Stylistically we see Johann Christian Bach as a major proponent of the ‘galant’ style, considered a move away from the contrapuntal restrictions of his father’s music and as a precursor to the Classical idiom of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. But every rule embodies an exception, and although this music is quite poised and indeed ‘galant’, it also seethes with expression of deeper emotion more readily associated with other artistic trends of the era, such as Empfindsamkeit and Sturm und Drang.
The instruments used in this recording would have been of exactly the type known to J C Bach.
