Moisés P. Sánchez - Bach (Re)inventions '2021

Tracks list

A lmost three centuries ago, in 1723, Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750)
finished writing his two-part Inventions, BWV 772–786. Designed for the
education of his son Wilhelm Friedemann, these fifteen works explore
contrapuntal writing and a variety of different dance styles. Then as now,
musicians learned their trade by mastering performance technique and the
idiomatic characteristics of their instrument. On this album, pianist Moisés
P. Sánchez reinvents this extraordinary set of pieces by employing Bachian
principles: improvising on well-known works to translate them into a modern
idiom, while retaining their essence. Commissioned by the Fundación Juan
March, this project harks back to the original spirit of Bach’s
Inventions, taking a creative idea and reimagining it in order to stimulate the
musical imagination and seduce the listener with new sonorities.
