Johann Ludwig Krebs: Guitar Concerto in G major, Jozef Zsapka
Description on Youtube:
“Johann Ludwig Krebs (1713-1780) was a german composer whose career spanned the end of the Baroque and beginning of the Classical era. He was the son of Johann Tobias Krebs, the organist of Buttelstedt, near Weimar, who had studied with J.S. Bach. Father taught son organ, harmony, theory, and counterpoint. The lad was sent to enter the Thomasschule in Leipzig, where J.S. Bach was music director. J.L. Krebs had a very high reputation among his contemporaries. J.S. Bach held him in high regard, punning on both their names (Krebs [crab or crayfish] and Bach [brook or stream]) by saying "He is the only crayfish in my stream." It is not surprising that many of his works, especially his organ compositions, are very much like those of J.S. Bach. “ (from “Bach Cantata Website, Biographies of Poets & Composers”) Jozef Zsapka (guitar), Slovak Chamber Orchestra, Bohdan Warchal (conductor)
