Listening to Bruno Procopio’s recording, and it feels like he can tell me what great pieces of music CPE Bach had written but can’t actually show me – his technical expertise notwithstanding. Any pointers to better or more inspiring performances appreciated.
The more I listen to CPE Bach, the more I realize he wrote with performance in mind.
Sorry JL I did not see your post until now… as I recall, there are performances of the Wurtemberg sonatas on the BIS label, but unfortunately I forget who performed them. I believe, however, it was Miklos Spanyi…
And PIerre Hantai performing the harpsichord concerto version of the opening sinfonia here (another fine performance - particularly of the final movement).,…I know I’ve posted it before but just thought people might like a comparison:

Thank you Joseph. Just bought the Spanyi performances here:
Definitely more expressive than Procopio.
