Info zu BACH : un itinéraire

Das Cembalo wie auch die Orgel beschäftigten Bach, der die Tasten virtuos berührte, in allen Städten, in denen sich seine Karriere abspielte. Von den wilden Toccaten seiner Jugend über das Italienische Konzert und die Chromatische Fantasie und Fuge bis hin zu den strengen kontrapunktischen Konstruktionen seiner Reife, schlägt Luc Beauséjour vor, die verschiedenen Stile, die seine Kunst im Laufe seines Lebens prägten, zu durchlaufen, um ihre Vielfalt und Entwicklung zu erfassen.

Diese musikalische Biographie Bachs folgt einer Reiseroute zu den verschiedenen Orten, an denen der Komponist arbeitete oder Ämter bekleidete. „Die verschiedenen Stellen, die Johann Sebastian Bach im Laufe seines Lebens bekleidete, ob er nun für einen Fürsten oder eine Gemeinde arbeitete, beeinflussten sein musikalisches Schaffen. Ich habe ein Stück ausgewählt, das an jedem der Orte entstanden ist, an denen Bach gearbeitet hat, so dass dieses Aufnahmeprojekt ein Panorama seiner Werke für Cembalo bietet. Im Gegensatz zu den anderen Gattungen, in denen Bach schrieb, hat er sein ganzes Leben lang Cembalowerke geschaffen“, sagt Luc Beauséjour.

Jedes Stück auf diesem Album lädt den Hörer ein, die Stücke zu entdecken, die Bachs Karriere geprägt haben. Im Alter von 18 Jahren komponierte er sein Capriccio über die Abreise seines geliebten Bruders, BWV 992, während seines Aufenthalts in Arnstadt oder Lüneburg. In den nächsten Jahrzehnten komponierte er die Fantasie in g-Moll, BWV 917 (Weimar), die Französische Suite Nr. 5 in G-Dur, BWV 816, und die Chromatische Fantasie und Fuge in d-Moll, BWV 603 (Cöthen/Leipzig), das Präludium, die Fuge und das Allegro in Es-Dur, BWV 998 (Leipzig), und das dreiteilige Ricercare aus der Musikalischen Darbringung, BWV 1079 (Potsdam).
