Johann Christian Bach (1735-1782)
Symphonien op.6 Nr.1-6

+Symphonien op. 18 Nr. 1-6; op. 9 Nr. 1-3; Ouvertüre in D "La calamita"
Netherlands Chamber Orchestra, David Zinman

Johann Christian, youngest son of Johann Sebastian, settled in London in 1762, after travels across Germany and Italy. His cosmopolitan education and outlook can be enjoyed in these symphonies or sinfonias from the 1760s and later. Haydn was writing four-movement works by then but J.C.’s use of the old, operatically inspired three-movement model is always imaginative, enlivened by attractive scoring for solo winds and strings. Some of the slow movements are instrumental arias in their own right.
