With Roderick Swanston. In 1768, CPE Bach succeeded Telemann to the top musical post in Hamburg. After years of writing only instrumental music, he suddenly had to turn his hand to choral writing and to supervising hundreds of performances a year in five different churches. Bach threw himself into the task with characteristic enthusiasm and today's programme includes excerpts from his impressive array of choral works. Zur Einfuhrung des HP Gasie; Anbetung dem Erbarmer ;
