About this concert

With the stormy emotions of Wilhelm Friedemann, the haunting melancholy of Carl Philipp Emanuel and the tender warmth of Johann Christian, three Bachs tell their story as they learned it from their father: at the keyboard. Anders Muskens makes a plea in favour of the three juniors, who were by turns considered the greatest among the Bachs.
