Info for Bach minimaliste

J. S. Bachs Cembalokonzert in d-Moll steht im Mittelpunkt dieses Albums: "Diese Musik erscheint mir absolut modern: ein kontinuierlicher, sich endlos entwickelnder Faden, der ihr einen fast hypnotischen Aspekt verleiht.... Diese Adjektive gehören auch zum Vokabular der heutigen Musik, sei es "populär" wie bei Techno oder "Kunstmusik" wie bei der sogenannten repetitiven oder minimalistischen Bewegung", so Simon-Pierre Bestion. Zweihundertdreißig Jahre nach Bach schrieb Górecki ein Cembalokonzert in der gleichen Tonart, in dem er das Cembalo "als ein sehr rhythmisches und extrem verstohlenes Instrument" einsetzte. John Adams, ein führender Vertreter des amerikanischen Minimalismus, komponierte 1978 Shaker Loops: "Dieses Meisterwerk ist von besonderem Interesse, weil wir auf Instrumenten mit Darmsaiten spielen. Das gibt der Musik eine ganz besondere Textur. Bachs Passacaglia ("ein einziges musikalisches Thema, das einundvierzig Mal zu hören ist") und die Litanies von Jehan Alain vervollständigen dieses Programm, das die Brüder Bestion zusammenbringt, wobei Louis-Noël Bestion de Camboulas als Solist in den Konzerten mitwirkt.
