C.P.E. Bach: Die Auferstehung Und Himmelfahrt Jesu

Radical, daring and extremely refined: that’s how C.P.E. Bach saw his new path for the Oratorio, after his father’s Passions had marked the climax of the baroque era. Not only did it pave the way for Haydn’s oratorios, but there are also clear influences on the Pamina arias in Die Zauberflöte written a few years later. (Passacaille)
