Dans les dernières années de sa vie, Johann Sebastian Bach acheva une série d’œuvres qui constituèrent un magnifique testament musical de tous les styles qu’il pratiqua, que ce soit le contrepoint avec L’Offrande musicale (1747), les Variations canoniques pour orgue (1747-1748) et L’Art de la fugue (1742-1750), ou la musique religieuse avec la Messe en si mineur (1746-1749). Mais contrairement aux autres monuments contrapuntiques cités précédemment, la Messe ne fut pas véritablement composée entre 1746 et 1749. Hormis deux sections du Credo conçues vraisemblablement en 1749, Bach retravailla des pièces qu’il avait écrites auparavant dans diverses circonstances. Il réussit un tour de force en créant une œuvre nouvelle et originale à partir d’un matériau composite. Le compositeur délaissa également l’aria da capo et le récitatif, des formes qu’il avait abondamment utilisées dans les cantates et les Passions. Ainsi, il livre à la postérité non pas sa conception de ce que devait être une messe – attitude paradoxale pour un compositeur profondément attaché au rite luthérien – mais sa vision de la musique religieuse. La Messe en si mineur constitue ainsi une admirable synthèse des différents styles qu’il pratiqua sa vie durant.
La genèse de la Messe s’étendit donc sur plus de vingt années. Une première version du Credo fut sans doute exécutée pour la consécration de l’école Saint-Thomas de Leipzig, le 5 juin 1732. Un an plus tard, le 21 avril 1733, le Kyrie et le Gloria furent créés à l’occasion des vœux de fidélité du nouveau prince électeur de Saxe, Auguste III. Quatre mois après cette exécution, Bach adressa au souverain le manuscrit précédé de la supplique suivante: « Je m’offre avec la plus consciencieuse obéissance de démontrer en toute occasion mon zèle infatigable en composant de la musique sacrée aussi bien que pour l’orchestre chaque fois que Votre Majesté me fera la grâce de l’exiger. » La mise au point tardive de la Messe en si mineur explique pourquoi celle-ci ne fut jamais jouée dans son intégralité du vivant de Bach. Après le décès du cantor, l’autographe fut transmis à son fils cadet Carl Philipp Emanuel qui, en 1786, remania le Credo afin de le « moderniser ». Si des extraits furent régulièrement donnés entre 1811 et 1834, notamment par l’Académie de chant de Berlin, il fallut attendre 1859 pour que cette œuvre fût exécutée dans son intégralité (en traduction allemande !), sous la direction de Carl Riedel.

Bach - The Well-Tempered Clavier (complete)


Well here it is, the «Holy Grail» and «Old Testament» of keyboard literature. It does not really make sense to post yet another recording of the WTC, and by an amateur who is barely scratching the surface of this priceless music. But hey, there is worse stuff on YouTube, and I am somewhat proud of these recordings from 2009-2014. While flawed in many ways, they are many times better than my first recording (from 2007-2008 I think).

I am much indebted to the good folks at Piano Society, especially to Andreas Pfaul, for their stern but honest feedback and their many useful suggestions which enabled me to do a much better job the second time round.

I know Ill want to improve on these one day, even the greats do. This music is so much better than anyone could ever play it — Bach is always ahead of you, beckoning, challenging, and leading the way. He is both a hard task master and a gentle teacher. Sheesh, I can get really religious about Bach :) No other composer does that to me. I would think myself weird if I did not know that many people feel the same.

I never took any video footage for these. My apologies for being a lazy sod and not providing imagery or sheets to go along with the music. This just seems too much work for such a large video. And anyway, one should concentrate on the music rather than watching pictures or checking notes against the score :) At least Ill provide the titles and starting times as usual. Let me know what you think!

Among the most revered virtuosos of all time, Nicolò Paganini was a true musical legend of his era, inspiring musicians such as Robert Schumann to forge his own career as a pianist. Franz Schubert was also a regular audience member at Paganini’s concerts, despite the outlandish ticket prices.

Paganini often remarked that, despite his legendary status as a violinist, he found it rather difficult to compose for the instrument. This release presents Paganinis complete violin concertos, performed by violinist Alexandre Dubach accompanied by the Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo.

Nicolò Paganini

Artist:
Alexandre Dubach (violin)
