At the heart of this album is J.S. Bach’s great Chaconne, for centuries a source of inspiration for countless composers and a continuing source of admiration and emulation. The album’s title, “(R)-EVOLUTION”, embodies the word “evolution”, signifying how, through the adoption and application of Bach’s compositional techniques, his structures continue to live on in many works. The aspect of “revolution” refers to the deliberate transformation of his defining style by other composers over time.
