Barefoot Chamber Concerts ("an enterprise noted for both its quality and informality" - San Francisco Classical Voice) is delighted to present Se Piace (Katherine Heater, harpsichord Anthony Martin, violin David Morris, cello and viola da gamba) playing the music of C. P. E. Bach.
Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach, the fifth child of JSB, is one of the great originals of his time. His unique musical language developed from the conservative but very elegant style favored by his first employer Frederick the Great, in Berlin, to the new galant "sensitive" style that was in vogue in Hamburg, where he was next employed.
He was the most highly regarded composer in his time, and was extremely prolific. His reputation continued for at least a century afterwards Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven all referred to him as "the master." However, the revival of classical and baroque music in the 19th century overlooked his music precisely because it is neither fully "baroque" nor fully "classical." Because of his "transitional" style, until recently he was simply thought of as one of (JS) Bach's sons, or as a precursor of the great classical composers. Only now are we realizing the full extent of his genius, and the extraordinary range of his musical language.
We are lucky that three of the Bay Area's finest have taken the time to focus on this very unusual music. It is very virtuosic, and because of that, rarely heard. However, Se Piace (aka Katherine Heater, Anthony Martin, and David Morris) is the right team for the job, and they have a treat in store for us.
