简介:
Somm Recordings and former BBC Young Musician Competition prize- winner Cordelia Williams present two sublime voices together for the first time
on album in a poetic and probing coupling of the solo piano music of JS Bach musical laureate of 17th-century Protestantism and Arvo Pärt,
principal voice of contemporary Holy Minimalism. Although a quarter of a millennia separates their births, both share a conviction that faith in
God, as Williams notes in her introductory essay, is the foundation of the creation of music. This pioneering coupling of the two composers
reveals a surprising latticework of connections in their constant, shared striving for economy and essence. Pärts signature chiming tintinnabuli
style is beautifully evoked in three pieces designed to console and comfort their dedicatees: the tolling, melancholic profundity of Für Alina;
the quietly majestic and moving Für Anna Maria and the limpid, liquid invention of Variationen zur Gesundung von Arinuschka. Composed for his 10
-year-old son, Wilhelm Friedemann (himself later a composer of distinction), Bachs twin sets of 15 Two-part Inventions (BWV 772-86) and 15
Three-part Sinfonias (BWV 787-801) are much more than mere pedagogic primers. Williams finds in them a richness of technical design far beyond
their apparent simplicity. Here, Williams reverts to Bachs original ordering of the pieces to chart a subtly revealing way through music as
intimate as it is illuminating.
