The 1786 Charity Concert: A Revival (2014)

In 1786 Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach presented the greatest musical achievements of his century to a captivated audience and enthusiastic reviewers. The music director from Hamburg arranged a remarkable program for a charity concert, including not only his own music, but also popular and forgotten works by his father J. S Bach and works by George Frideric Handel. As a tribute to the 300th anniversary of CPE Bach the RIAS Kammerchor and the Akademie fur Alte Musik in Berlin will revive the memorable concert from April 9, 1786 and reawaken a great historic moment in music history.
