Domestic music-making of a distinctly superior sort is lovingly recreated in a rare recording of the notebooks Bach presented to his second wife.
"What an unfailingly delightful compilation it is, featuring keyboard galanteries, chorale melodies with or without voice and a wide variety of arias...few if any will be disappointed with an enchanting programme, affectionately and intimately performed." BBC Music
"Among the delights here are short works by Bach's sons, including a handful of pieces by CPE that suggest a young composer already well advanced down his own idiosyncratic path. Esfahani has considerable fun with the jaunty little March in G, adding some bumptious ornamentation in the repeats." Gramophone Critics Choice 2023
