The innately humanistic sound ideal of Johann Sebastian Bach and his son Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach meets the youthful, romantic gesture of Felix Mendelssohn: the 4th Academy Concert continues the series of Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos that began with the 1st Academy Concert. It is music so popular and widely admired that it was launched into space on a data disk aboard the »Voyager 2« space probe in 1977. Now it is back in Hamburg. His Symphony No. 6, nicknamed the »Hamburg Symphony« is a clear sign that Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach has no reason to be disconcerted by any overbearing legacy of his famous father.
