Julien Libeer: Bach/Bartók: - Julien Libeer [CD]

Beyond their lifelong interest in keyboard instruments of all types (organ, harpsichord and clavichord in the case of Bach; modern piano as a percussion instrument in the case of Bartók), other shared concerns connect these two giants of classical music who at first glance appear to be polar opposites. Julien Libeer, this ardent advocate of a clear and direct approach deftly combines keen intuition with a sense of formal rigour to bring four masterful examples of the 'suite' genre into a dialogue spanning across the centuries that set them apart.
