Johann Christoph Bach and his brother Johann Michael Bach were first cousins of Johann Sebastian Bach's father Johann Ambrosius. Interestingly, Johann Michael is also the father of Sebastian Bach's first wife Maria Barbara and therefore the grandfather of C.P.E. Bach, the best of the composing Bach sons.The pieces on this CD represent music contemporary to Pachabel and Buxtehude and sounds very similar to their works. Johann Christoph's piece "Meine Freundin, du bist schön" is the best piece on the CD and shows J.C. Bach to be a very profound mid-baroque composer. Johann Michael Bach's piece "Ach, bleib bei uns, Herr Jesu Christ is also quite beautiful.Not the best or the most original of the mid-baroque composers, never the less these composers show they are quite capable and illustrate the remarkable musical tradition J.S. Bach came from. I recommend this CD if you can find it.
