JS Bach's eldest son Wilhelm Friedemann Bach |
CPE and JC were perhaps the most successful of Bach's song, whilst WF seems to have had difficulty capitalising on his position as Bach's eldest son. It is rare to hear music so many of JS Bach's sons and the evening promises to be a fascinating evening, especially as the age range of the sons is so wide (WF was 25 years older than JC) which means the styles of music promise to be varied.
There is a chance to hear conductor Reinhard Goebbel talking about the programme in a pre-concert talk at 6.30pm. Further information from the Barbican website.
