Description
In this imaginative and personal recording, violinist Marie Radauer-Plank explores the far-reaching influence of J.S. Bach--without playing a single note by him. Known for her stylistic sensitivity and curiosity-driven repertoire choices, Radauer-Plank traces the subtle connections between Bach's solo violin works and the music of those who came before and after him. From Johann Paul von Westhoff's 17th-century suites to Ivan Khandoshkin's classical lyricism, from Eugene Ysaye's haunting 'Obsession' to Arthur Honegger's wartime homage--and culminating in 'A Shelter for Imagining', a new work by Charlotte Bray--this album reveals how Bach's presence continues to inspire across centuries. Rooted in history and rich with imagination, Bach Sans Bach invites the listener into a sound world where Bach is the silent thread running through it all.
