Abstract
Rebecca Miller leads the orchestra in a program of five symphonies by Bach's most productive son. CPE Bach always lived in his father's shadow, and is now an almost unknown figure, at least beyond the classical cognoscenti. His music constantly shifts, wrong-footing the listener when they least expect it with wild directional and color changes; it is bright, effervescent, and a fascinating link between the music of his father (and the Baroque era) and Joseph Haydn (and the Classical era).
