Les Timbres delves into J.S. Bach’s most conceptual work, composed without specifying the instruments for which it was designed and full of many other questions: is it unfinished? Is it his latest work, his musical testament? How many hidden messages does it contain? There is, however, a great certainty: we are facing the apotheosis of the contrapuntal style and one of the greatest feats of Western classical music. The collection is presented in a form of pure music where the “decorative” issues (interpretation, instrumentation and ornamentation) merge in the face of the immensity of the musical material. The emotion is immediate and the audience is transported into a musical world of architecture so deep and intense that it lives a real inner journey.
