Curated and performed by acclaimed pianist Julien Libeer, “J S Bach & Beyond – A Well-Tempered Conversation” sheds new light on Bach’s timeless work by initiating a unique dialogue where pairs of preludes and fugues are juxtaposed against later pieces by composers building upon Bach’s foundations. Experience this thoughtful and inspiring programme live this French May Arts Festival!
Julien Libeer (Piano)
“Such a Bach experiment succeeds for two reasons. Firstly, Julien Libeer plays Bach and his posthumous partners with supple articulation and mature pianism. Secondly, many aspects unfold from the historical-aesthetic mixture, illustrating how magnificently the Bach cosmos challenged and inspired the later composers.” Süddeutsche Zeitung
“Downright sensational…Libeer does justice to the 2½ centuries of piano music in all its diversity. An extraordinarily coherent, intelligent programme.” Klassik Heute
“A brilliant piano trajectory.” Luister
“We have here a dazzling and varied recital that leaves nothing to be desired, both technically and interpretatively.” Pizzicato
- Has performed at the Wigmore Hall, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, and is a regular guest of the Palais des Beaux-Arts Brussels and Concertgebouw Amsterdam
- Chamber partners include Augustin Dumay, Camille Thomas, Frank Braley, Maria João Pires and Lorenzo Gatto
- Recipient of Diapason d’Or de l’Année 2016, Klara Award 2016 and ECHO Preis 2017
