A MUSICAL JOURNEY FROM BACH TO LIGETI

Jeremy Denk, who is considered one of the most thoughtful and compelling pianists today, offers a captivating musical journey through time. He begins by creating an atmosphere of grace and nobility with the Baroque dances of Bach’s Partita before transporting us to the poetic, supernatural world of Ravel’s _Gaspard de la nuit_ and then to Ligeti’s universe, overflowing with rhythmical invention.
