Christine Schornsheim Harpsichord Recital A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

The toccatas of Johann Sebastian Bach written in the 1710s and those of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach published in the 1740s are separated not only by some 30 years but by an entire world of style: the former represent Baroque improvisatory toccatas of northern Germany, while the latter personify the refined style of Empfindsamkeit, ‘sensibility’. Of course, it will be all the more interesting to see how these family works rub up against each other, and also how they neatly fit together. Christine Schornsheim, who with this concert is also marking the birth of Philipp Emanuel Bach 200 years ago, has toured as soloist with the Alte Musik Berlin in the past season, regularly gives solo recitals, her recordings of works by the Haydn and Bach boys have won a handful of awards, and she holds masterclasses all over the world (for instance, in the Liszt Academy on the days preceding the concert).
