Carl Phillip Emanuel Bach - Magnificat


Anna Nesyba - Soprano
Monteverdichor Würzburg
Monteverdi Ensemble
Matthias Beckert (cond.)

Of course it's unfair to compare his setting with that of his father but I can't help but note that his is about fifteen minutes longer and less varied in its range.   I just don't find this style particularly convincing when applied to this text.
