Composed in 1748, this gorgeous and increasingly popular piece demonstrates the brilliance of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. It transcends its late baroque/early classical timeframe and is pervaded by a pensive quality and even a predisposition toward a romantic sensibility. Highly recommended and not of excessive difficulty (includes music with difficulty levels 3-7). Includes an authoritative, newly engraved music score on high-quality ivory paper; a digital stereo compact disc featuring a complete performance of the concerto with orchestra and soloist, and a second performance minus you, the soloist; and a second compact disc containing a full-speed version of the complete version as well as a special -20% slow-tempo version of the accompaniment for practice purposes. The concerto is voluminously indexed for your practice and performance convenience. Performed by Romeo Smilkov, piano The Plovdiv Chamber Orchestra Nayden Todorov, conductor
