At the same time as we get to know Wilhelm Friedemann Bach’s compositions we can also take stock of the real personality of Johann Sebastian Bach’s eldest son. His works are still mostly unknown to the public at large and remain in the shadow of those by his brothers. It is true that his music still seems to be somewhat strange, imprisoned as it undoubtedly is by the composer’s profound inner drama. Born in 1710, Wilhelm Friedemann benefited more than any other of his brothers from the impact of his father’s personality; we may well remember the famous phrase attributed to Johann Sebastian «The son that gives me joy is the one that I love» ?

Label: Erato / Warner Classics | Release Year: 2017

Jean Rondeau, the imaginative young French harpsichordist, describes the Bach family as “one of the great dynasties of western music”. Having devoted his first Erato disc, Imagine, to works by the towering Johann Sebastian, he now returns to Bach’s world for his third release, Dynastie, which complements concertos by Johann Sebastian with concertos by his three most famous sons, Wilhelm Friedemann, Carl Philipp Emmanuel and Johann Christian.
Rondeau has described JS Bach, who has been part of his life since his childhood, as “daunting like a mighty mountain”, but at the same time feels that “his music is so full of humility, so generous, that we have the right and the duty to play it, to share it, and to take the hand that he extends to us.”

Posted by flac jacket at April 17, 2015

Bach Imagine is the first Warner Classics release from the dynamic young French harpsichordist Jean Rondeau, who sees it as "an exploration of all the possibilities that lie in the music of Johann Sebastian Bach and in the harpsichord." Imagine features one of Bach's most celebrated harpsichord works, the Italian Concerto BWV 971, as well as transcriptions of music that the composer conceived for other instruments: the violin, the lute and the flute.

The musical legacy of the Bach family is inseparably linked to the progress in instrument making of the time, which was dominated by the Silbermann family. Offering a fascinating comparison between the two dynasties – composers vs. organ builders and fortepiano makers – for this recording, Louis-Noël Bestion de Camboulas and Les Surprises used superb copies of Silbermann instruments, but also a magnificent original: the famous Silbermann organ at the Cathedral of St. Mary in Freiberg, Saxony.

Many of the very best features of W.F. Bach's music are explored lovingly in Camerata Köln's superb survey of Bach's tiny surviving amount of chamber music on CPO's W.F. Bach: Sonatas & Trios. This includes two stunning flute sonatas discovered only a few years ago, including the Sonata in E minor that opens the disc – a melting, mercurial piece that winds around in a completely unpredictable manner, like a wild vine that springs up on the side of a shed. ~Uncle Dave Lewis, All Music Guide

Ralf Otto, L'arpa festante, Bachchor Mainz - Wilhelm Friedemann Bach: Kantaten I (2010) Music

Posted by ArlegZ at Jan. 6, 2023

When on 12 May 1764 Wilhelm Friedemann Bach tended his resignation as Music Director and Organist at Halle a brilliant musical epoch came to an inglorious end. From the time of Samuel Scheidt the position of organist of the Halle Marktkirche had always been occupied by outstanding virtuosi and composers, and with W. F. Bach the last of them quit the service. The twenty or so surviving Halle cantatas by Wilhelm Friedemann Bach form a long-neglected body of music which is in many respects unparalleled. They represent extraordinarily individual attempts to emulate the musical achievements of his great paternal teacher and model, and to develop them further. Thus this son of Bach arrived at solutions to problems in his works which strive repeatedly towards grace and pathos, brilliance and originality, artistic diversity and natural simplicity.

J.S. Bach's talent seems to flow in his grandson's blood at least as strongly as in any of his sons. Wilhelm Friedrich Ernst Bach's two symphonies (as well as the vocal works featured here) inhabit the sound-world of mid- to late Mozart, albeit without the brilliance (in every sense of the word). This Bach's wind writing is tasteful, and makes good use of the (then) newly-arrived clarinet. The Andante of the C major symphony is quite beautiful, with a dolefully sweet oboe solo throughout the movement. The period strings of Das Kleine Konzert are lively, clean, and in tune, although the violin soloist is not quite up to the rapid passage-work at the end of the G major symphony.
