Not JS but CPE Bach



On more than one occasion, I have enjoyed music on Pandora and looked up to see that it was not JS Bach, but CPE Bach.

Could anyone who knows baroque music comment on this composer?

Are there any recordings you could suggest?

(As always, extra credit for audiophile quality.)

Thank you,
