A gifted student of his father, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach distanced himself from the style of the old wig —as his younger brother Johann Christian jokingly referred to it. This separation is evident in the modernity of the Symphony in E minor, a work that explores a new emotional universe in which Joseph Haydn would later become a master. Often overshadowed by his symphonies, Haydn’s concertos still dazzle with brilliance, such as the Harpsichord Concerto in D major, a hit since its publication, or the Double Concerto for Violin and Harpsichord in F major, a technically demanding piece and a rare opportunity to enjoy the artistry of artist-in-residence Amandine Beyer. Closing the programme is the Symphony in C minor by Luigi Boccherini, who, after a period in Paris, settled in Madrid, where he died in 1805 following a bittersweet life at court. This symphony is a fine example of the expressive innovations of the emerging classical style.
