But it’s a copious collection, the chief downside of which is the singular contribution by pianist, Ana-Marija Markovina, on all of the solo keyboard compositions (half of the collection!). Material of this scope and volume demands multiple interpreters, imo. Nonetheless I recommend it as a decent survey of the composer who was considered THE Bach of his generation. It’s available for purchase but also streaming on most platforms.
The Complete C.P.E. Bach (2018, Profil - G Haenssler) |
Had this one on shuffle all day.
Spotify Edition. Not really the
complete catalog of C.P.E.'s works but an awful lot of it. And pianist, Markovina's contribution (she did record all of the solo piano work here) is actually a boon.
