Search - Netherlands Chamber Orchestra :: J.C. Bach: Complete Symphonies Opp. 6, 9, 18; Overture La calamita

Johann Christian was the youngest son of Johann Sebastian who found a home in London after travels across Germany and Italy. His cosmopolitan education and outlook can be
enjoyed in these symphonies or sinfonias from the 1760s and later. Haydn may have been writing full four-movement works by then, but J.C.'s use of the old, operatically inspired three-movement model is always imaginative, enlived by attractive scoring for solo winds
and strings.
