A Move to Hamburg
Donald Macleod focuses on CPE Bach's succeeding his godfather, Telemann, as music director in Hamburg, one of Germany's most prestigious music jobs.
Bach obtains one of Germany's most prestigious music jobs.
When Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach's godfather, Telemann, died in 1767, Bach succeeded him as music director in Hamburg. Bach was happy there, composing prolifically, setting up his own series of subscription concerts, and holding popular musical gatherings at his house, alongside his day job. Presented by Donald Macleod.
