巴哈: 六首英國組曲 (BWV806-811)
法蘭西斯柯.特里斯塔諾 鋼琴
After the first instalment, published in November 2024 (6 Partitas, naive V8619), of the exploration of the music of J. S. Bach that the Luxembourg pianist Francesco Tristano has been undertaking for the last three years, naive is now publishing the six English Suites. Recorded in December 2022, they actually constitute the starting point of this project, which will continue in a few months with the seven Toccatas (autumn 2025) and the six French Suites (2026). This double album offers a new series of magnificent photographs by Breno Rotatori: nocturnal hues, midnight blue and vermilion yellow, now replace the lively blood-red-orange of the Partitas.
For Francesco Tristano, Bach is a master of the groove, his writing has flow. The pianist's modus operandi? Immerse yourself in it as you dive into deep water: you breathe in, and you only breathe out when you come back up. A few months ago, the Partitas were already surprising in their lively lightness. Today, these English Suites, even more sprightly, sometimes to the point of vertigo in the Preludes (Suites BWV 809 and BWV 810!) or certain rapid dances (Gavotte from BWV 811, Bourree from BWV 807), celebrate the Dionysian power of Bach's universe, incontestably inexhaustible.
