Following on his acclaimed disc of Johann Ludwig Bach, conductor Hans-Christoph Rademann continues his fascinating exploration of history s most famous musical dynasty. Born in 1735, Johann Christian Bach was the youngest of Johann Sebastian s sons. He seems to have remained in his father s shadow until the age of 19, when he had the chance to travel to Italy, very likely to receive guidance from the celebrated Padre Martini, as his (future) friend Mozart was to do some years later. It was in Milan that he wrote the two works recorded here, including his incredible Requiem with its completely unorthodox formal design. In matters of style, however, the 22-year-old composer had already laid the foundations of all his later output.
