“Bach… where everything begins.”

Since the 18th century, a number of composers have paid hommage to Johann Sebastian Bach, often considered the musical touchstone: the perfect balance between science, form, expression and emotion.

Preludes and Fugues; transcriptions; or the musical motif made from the letters of his name: these hommages have come in many forms. In the captivating and fascinating programme by Lise de la Salle, we find works by Bach himself,
Poulenc, Busoni, Roussel and Liszt.

And then, like a fresh breath of air from the heart of our current century, interspersed between the works of the masters we find four new pieces commissioned from the pianist Thomas Enhco.

The result is an essential, modern recording, an unprecedented journey into the essence of music, in which Lise de la
Salle exhibits all her pianistic talent, as well as a profound intellectual knowledge.

It’s a long-considered recording, subtle yet powerful, that marks the 15th anniversary of the rich collaboration between Naïve and Lise de la Salle.
