The main Sunday evening concert was back in the Trinity church, with the French Pulcinella Orchestra and a very welcome concert of music by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, an often overlooked member of that extraordinary family. Led by cellist Ophélie Gaillard, it was perhaps inevitable that the programme would open and close with cello concertos (Wq 170/172). In typical CPE Bach style, the expansive opening cello melody of the A minor concerto was in sharp contrast to the busy orchestral introduction. The opening movement ended with a large-scale cadenza that seemed to momentarily wander off into a concerto from a completely different era. The concluding A major Concerto included some florid cello figuration in the opening Allegro, tempered by a yearning cello melody in the central Largo. Despite her leadership position, Ophélie Gaillard never allowed her cello to dominate the proceedings – an admirable, but not often heard, practice. The Symphony 5 in B minor was another example of CPE Bach’s extravagent compositional style, with rapid changes of mood and texture. The second half opened with his Sanguineus & Melancholicus, with violinists Thibault Noally and David Chivers representing the battle between the temperaments. --- andrewbensonwilson.org
