Matthieu Delage — ‘Bach’

Conversing, improvising, sharing...

Bach, a tireless source of inspiration for generations, continues to shine. Saxophonist Matthieu Delage revisits some of his major works - Cello Suite, Goldberg Variations, St. Matthew Passion, Well-Tempered Clavier - in a captivating program. 

Although Bach never wrote for the saxophone, invented almost a century after his death by Adolphe Sax, he nevertheless paved the way for countless arrangements and adaptations. These reinterpretations, often remarkable tributes, find an exceptional realization here under the fingers of his 4 musicians.
