L'encyclopédie de l'orgue : Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (À l'orgue de l'église de Zurzach)

François Delor presents an insightful collection of C.P.E. Bach’s organ and keyboard compositions, capturing the composer's distinct Rococo style as it bridges the gap between late Baroque counterpoint and the emerging Classical era. Performed on the historic Bossard-Mathis organ in Zurzach, these works - ranging from sonatas intended for intimate chamber settings to grandiose preludes - reveal Bach's pivotal role in evolving sonata form and expressive sentimentality. This recording provides a definitive look at a master whose innovative writing style paved the way for both Classical structure and Romantic depth.
