Sonate H-moll / Fantasie Und Fuge C-moll / Duett Für Zwei Violinen G-dur / Symphonie F-dur / Sonate G-moll

This recording was released as part of the Das Alte Werk series by Telefunken, a label renowned for its commitment to historically informed performance practices during the mid-20th century. Produced in the 1960s, the album highlights the works of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, bridging the stylistic gap between the late Baroque and the Classical eras. The selection showcases the diversity of C.P.E. Bach's output, ranging from intricate keyboard sonatas and organ works to chamber music, reflecting the intellectual rigor of the era's musicological revival.

The album features a distinguished roster of Dutch performers, including organist Piet Kee and conductors Anthon van der Horst and André Rieu—the elder violinist of that name, not his grandson. The recording sessions were designed to capture the clarity and structural elegance of Bach's compositions through the acoustic standards favored by Telefunken's technical team. Upon release, the record was well-received by critics and early music enthusiasts for its clean soundstage and the technical proficiency of the Amsterdam-based ensembles, solidifying its place as a reliable reference for mid-century performances of the Bach family repertoire.
