the album cover for Busoni / Michiels - Bach & Busoni

For Ferruccio Busoni, Bach's music was the root and the foundation of piano playing. His many transcriptions confirm this point of view, whilst his monumental Fantasia Contrappuntistica attempts to provide a conclusion to Bach's unfinished Kunst der Fuge. Busoni received a great deal of criticism for this, to which he replied "the musical art-work exists both within and outside of Time... there is no Old or New. There is only Known or Unknown". Today - one century and many fashions of "authentic" ways of performing Bach later - is possibly the time to rediscover the true voice of this great musician; for Bach, music was like "a divine child who did not touch the earth with his feet but floated on air". Jan Michiels takes you into this divine air with an 'old' Bechstein from 1860 as well as with a brand new Straight Strung Grand Piano by Chris Maene.
