Viviane Chassot (accordion)About
With works from the Woltemperierte Clavier, the well-known Italian Concerto as well as other suites and partitas.
The artist explains: “The liveliness and power may jump out at us first when we hear Bach’s music. But the composer did not have an easy life and anything but a straight path through life – he had to put up with many strokes of fate, became an orphan at the age of ten, lost his first wife at an early age; children also died. Death accompanied him throughout his life – and I think that these aspects of pain and loss always resonate in his music, even when it is superficially dancing or simply cheerful.”
Bach and accordion – this combination is not exactly obvious. But Viviane Chassot says: “What is very much in favour of the accordion as a possible instrument for Bach’s music for keyboard instruments are the wind-like shaping possibilities that I have thanks to the bellows. With it and with differentiated articulation, I can make the music breathe and speak; I achieve dynamics and a variety of colours through diverse registration possibilities. And the virtuoso dance movements are given a musical – even archaic – touch on the accordion.”
