The towering
genius of Johann Sebastian Bach is the focus of this superb concert, which
contrasts four of his works with two seminal 20th-century pieces by Berg
and Kurtág. The unsurpassed master of counterpoint – the
language of the Baroque – Bach wrote his Art of Fugue as a definitive
exploration of the fugue form. Three Bach concertos are played by ‘scorchingly
good’ (The Times) young Russian violinist Alina Ibragimova. Kurtág
acknowledges his debt to Bach in his Signs, Games and Messages, which
includes ‘Hommage à
J.S.B.’, an exploration of a Bach-like melodic line.
‘With
Ibragimova, every tone colour is at her fingertips, yet she's never the
mechanical doll. She's already gone beyond superb technique; she feels
and lives the music.’ The Times
