The art of fugue

Description

Italian pianist Filippo Gorini took advantage of the global health crisis to immerse himself in The Art of Fugue, the mystical and unfinished masterpiece by Johann Sebastian Bach: “The idea that it should only be considered a purely theoretical gem is mistaken: as counterpoints and canons grow in formal complexity, their emotional tension increases accordingly, up to the heartbreaking mystery of the final, incomplete fugue,” says the young pianist, winner of the Borletti-Buitoni Trust in 2020 and whose first two albums on Alpha were very well received (Diapason d'Or, 5 Stars BBC Music Magazine...). Alongside the release of the album, Filippo Gorini is launching a website (www. TheArtOfFugueExplored.com), with a documentary series of conversations with personalities, films around Bach's work... The young pianist has taken his exploration so far as to write poems and haikus around the work: “We pray in fear, When the blessed night comes.”
