The long-awaited re-release of the compilation of 40 years of walking with Bach!\n\nXu Xiaomei weaves the abyss of the temperament\n\n\n\nDialogue of the soul with Bach\n\nFor Xu Xiaomei, Bach's \"Peerless Clavier\" was a source of emotional support. Even under the harsh conditions of the Cultural Revolution, she secretly transcribed the scores and kept hope alive through music. Xu Xiaomei entered a music school at the age of 10 and was first exposed to Bach. Even after Western music was banned during the Cultural Revolution, she continued to secretly play Bach in Mongolian labor camps. An anecdote about how she brought a piano from Beijing and disguised her performances as traditional Chinese music illustrates her passion for music and her ingenuity.\n\n\n\nThe Depth of Life in the Recordings\n\nRecorded in 2007 and 2010, \"The Mean Clavier Works\" is the culmination of a decades-long journey with Bach. The performance is characterized by a serene and introspective sound delivery that avoids excessive expression. While clearly conveying Bach's constructiveness, the music speaks deeply to the listener's heart. And now, the long-awaited re-release of the 4-CD set that includes Volumes 1 and 2.This is a rare recording that allows you to experience the universality of Bach's music and Xu Xiaomei's profound interpretation throughout his life.\n\n\n\nA book that connects music and life\n\nHer autobiography, \"Eternal Piano - From Mao's Gulag to Bach Performer\" (Geijutsu Shimbunsha), also provides a deeper insight into the thoughts and background behind Bach's performances. It is a quiet but powerful story of the intersection of music and life.\n\n\n\n\u003cxu xiaomei\u003e.\n\nPianist born in Shanghai, China.
