THE BACH FAMILY --- Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach + maria I of portugal


finally some oboe music on my blog, with this composition of Carl Philip emanuel Bach, son of Johann Sebastian... below you can see his royal alter, Peter III, another portuguese *cough* king...

evrything you need to know in this one picture...
 and a nice big portrait..
 we can see the face the same, the wig the same, thats the same guy....just look at that small mouth...
now on to his wife.... or just kick back and listen to his oboe concerto (video top of thread)...
 so wether she was actually daughter or a cousin, i havent established as of yet... the bach daughters arent yet in my files... so you go and do this one instead... (they never marry far from each other...it all stays in the famly)
either way... these are 2 identities of the same woman, anna amalia v. braunschweig and maria I of portugal...
these portuguese alters were especially great for the winter, when the mainland was frozen dry, they just caught a horsecarriage and went down south to their comfy warm winter residence... great stuff indeed...
