Beatrice Berrut - Lux aeterna: Visions of Bach (2015)

'I have chosen works transcribed by Busoni, Siloti or Kempff, and not that of works written for harpsichord, for their transcriptions hold out a thread between Bach's era and our modern world...Thierry Escaich's music also has its roots in Bach's. So it is that his latest works recall the music of the cantor of Leipzig, whilst strangely tinting it with the colours of the 21st centuries: bouquets of colourful harmonies, wild rhythms, moments of mystical ecstasy…' Béatrice Berrut Recognised on the international scene and by her peers as a major artist, for her debut on the Aparté label, the Swiss pianist Béatrice Berrut gives us a highly intimate vision of Johann Sebastian Bach's music. For this, she is accompanied by a Bösendorfer piano prototype and the microphones of Nicolas Bartholomée, set up in the setting of Flagey, a multi-disciplinary arts centre in Brussels.
