Bach Suites Violoncelle

Gainsbourg, l'impie, est venu vivre ses derniers mois au pied de la colline de Vézelay. Rostropovitch, l'homme de foi, est monté jusqu'à la basilique de Marie-Madeleine pour y enregistrer les six suites de Bach pour violoncelle seul. Jules Roy a observé ces deux itinéraires. Il témoigne.

After "Ginastera" (2016) and "Debussy/Tôn Thât-Tiêt" (2018), PRAELUDIO is the third opus - the first as a soloist- that Patrick Langot has recorded with Klarthe Records. Founder of the Syntonia Quintet, soloist and chamber musician with a much praised discography (Chocolate Classical, Diapason Découverte, first choice of the "Tribune des Critiques" on France Musique) and lead cellist of internationally renowned ensembles, Patrick Langot delivers here a recital on three different instruments, uniting the Alpha and Omega of the "prelude" for solo cello. A voyage from the baroque to the modern day, where Domenico Gabrielli exchanges with Sofia Gubaidulina and where a composition by Benoît Menut (Grand Prix SACEM 2016 "young composer") stands alongside a personal, spiritual and original vision of the most famous pages of music written for the cello: the preludes of the six suites; BWV 1007-1012, by J.S.Bach.

Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706), was better-known as an organist than an important Baroque composer during his life time, though he was a prolific and influential composer. It is said that his organ chorales preludes and his fugues had an influence on Johann Sebastian Bach. Pachelbel held the position of organist in several churches and cathedrals in Austria and Germany. While most of his compositions were for the organ, he also wrote some chamber and vocal music.
