Presented by Martin Handley.

From the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London a veritable feast of music by Rococo master Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, one of J.S. Bach's most talented sons. The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment under the baton of Sir Roger Norrington, a period instrument expert, feature a wide and rich palette of the German composer's music mixing symphonies and concerti, highlighting the significant role he played in bridging the earlier Baroque period and the later Classicism of Mozart and Haydn. The soloists are Richard Lester in the Cello Concerto in A, and Steven Devine in the Harpsichord Concerto in C.
