The death of Georg Philipp Telemann in 1767 paved the way for his godson, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach to take up the position of Director of Music in Hamburg. Prior to that C P E Bach had been working for Frederick the Second of Prussia in Berlin but longed for a greater musical freedom and stylistic flexibility that working in Hamburg would offer him.

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach rated his Resurrection cantata Die Auferstehung und Himmelfahrt Jesu as one of his finest masterpieces. His contemporaries agreed; and the work’s success following its Hamburg premiere in 1778 culminated in three Viennese performances directed by Mozart himself. Of the three nimble, youthful soloists, baritone Stephan Genz is outstanding, compensating for a lack of true bass depth with his vigour of attack, firmness of line and, in the recitatives, vivid declamation. Pace Bach himself, I wouldn’t rate Die Auferstehung as highly as his finest instrumental music. But it’s a touching and sometimes exciting piece that deserves to be heard for that thrilling final chorus alone.
