Notes & Reviews:

In the latest volume of his highly regarded series, Miklos Spanyi has assembled a varied program, showing different aspects of C.P.E. Bach and the context in which he was active. Two sets of variations are included, both of them intended for the rapidly growing market created by the increasing number of skilled amateur players. For a large number of discs in this series, Spanyi has chosen to play on a clavichord - an instrument loved by Bach. Volume 17 is a case in point: selected as an Editor’s Choice in Gramophone, the disc was described as ‘the answer to clavichord fans’ dreams’. For the present program, however, Spanyi has elected to perform on a tangent piano, a variant of the fortepiano with a number of possibilities for adapting the timbre and dynamics. The results are striking especially in the sets of variations, but also in the more ‘orchestral’ pieces with their rich timbres and dynamic contrasts.

Volume 19 features music from the 1760s. Spányi performs on a tangent piano, a variant of the fortepiano with a number of possibilities for adapting the timbre and dynamics. The results are striking especially in the sets of variations, but also in the more 'orchestral' pieces with their rich timbres and dynamic contrasts.

"The tangent piano has appeared in this series before but Spányi here used the variations as an excuse to explore the colours of its tone-altering stops, which are many, varied and delightful. My favourites are the dulcimer-like sound heard in Variation 6 of Ich schlief, and the sostenuto chimes used for the C major Allegro, originally written for a musical clock." - Gramophone
