Bach's sadly wayward eldest son, Wilhelm Friedemann (see Proms Chamber Music 4); the tragically short-lived Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, whose touchingly lyrical meditation on the sufferings of Christ's mother at the foot of the Cross has been winning new audiences; and the London-born Thomas Arne, once the leading British composer of his day, now known mostly as the man who wrote Rule, Britannia!
