Bach In Los Angeles / Bono
Label: SOLO MUSICA Catalog: 88843092602 Format: CD Bono; WuComposed by: Bach, Johann Sebastian By choosing to record classical repertoire with electric bass, including Bach’s Cello Suites, Jacques Bono has acquired a unique position in the music business. + Playing them at their Thuringian church “original sites” put Bach's works into high contrast by interpreting them on an instrument of our times, more than 300 years after their composition – a project never ventured before. + The time, the separation into musical genres and the familiar listening sensations are all overcome in Jacques Bono's performances. + The cellist unperturbedly countered initial doubts by critics who claimed that it was impossible to perform Bach's cello suites on an electric bass with a musical venture that has music lovers of all origins intrigued – a revolutionary act in the best sense of musical tradition. + In 2013 Jacques Bono had the idea of recording Bach’s 'Inventionen' in two voices together with a female violinist. + On the German classical music scene he could not find a female violinist who would venture to play freely with him without fear of offending academically imposed values. + He was thus delighted to find Tien-Hsin Cindy Wu in Los Angeles, who proved to be a violinist capable of playing J. B. Bach's music vivaciously, in a heart-felt manner and free of dogma. Price: $27.98 |
