This disc of chamber music by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach is one of those releases that are worth acquiring for a single included item - and now, with download media finally coming to grips with how to transmit classical music, users may wish to do just that. The standout find on this release by the Montreal chamber group Les Boréades is the Trio Sonata in C minor for two violins and continuo, subtitled "Sanguineus und Melancholicus" (1749). The subtitle indicates that the work depicts or embodies a debate between a hopeful speaker and a melancholy one, thus taking the general notion of chamber music as a dialogue to an unusually specific degree of realization. An unusual opening movement that alternates between little fast and slow chunks gets your attention -- and then you wonder how the composer will sustain his concept over three movements and reconcile it with the outer conventions of the multimovement classical sonata idea without repeating himself. The short answer is that some very subtle contrapuntal writing, worthy of the ingenuity of C.P.E.'s father J.S. Bach, is brought to bear in the last two movements; a fuller answer awaits the happy listener. Bach's own program reads like this: "It is a conversation between a sanguine and a melancholic who both try to convince the other until the end of the second movement, at which point the melancholic sides with the other's point of view."
