Notes and Editorial Reviews
Grimaud’s first ever recording of Bach, a tour de force performance and a landmark project in her notable career.
Charismatic and enigmatic, Grimaud presents her latest individual concept, combining the purity of Bach’s original keyboard works with works by the baroque master arranged for the piano by pianist-composers of later generations. The disc features one of her signature works, the Busoni version of Bach’s famous
Chaconne in D minor.
Bach “is a Bible with an infinity of interpretations, through which you can renew your relationship to music, to yourself and to the world.” — Hélène Grimaud
