Description:

Selected performances from the album CD in honor of Bach with Nemanja's groundbreaking expression of the human emotions of Bach's works as a simple method, released in limited quantities on 180g analog LP vinyl. Following his critically acclaimed Beethoven album, which won the OPUS KLASSIK 2024 "Best Concert Recording of the Year" category, Nemanja Radulović returns with a wonderful J.S. Bach album. His expressiveness, charisma and joy of sharing are appreciated by audiences around the world. This recording is a tribute to Bach that will captivate musicians and music lovers alike. Nemanja has chosen original works that are truly meaningful to him and are part of his personal story, as well as arrangements that pay homage to Bach. The first, "Sicilienne," often arranged for a variety of instruments, surprises from its pure tone as if it were played on a period instrument, the flauto-traverso.In "Suite No. 1 for Unaccompanied Cello - Prelude," performed solo by the viola, clarity, nobility, and serenity are all embedded in a short piece. The aria "Have mercy on me, my God" from the "Matthew Passion" for alto and violin solo is sung with passion by countertenor Philip Jaroussky and beautifully supported by Nemanja. The concertos are what you should hear most on this album, and among them is the "Violin Concerto in D minor, BWV 1052R". This piece is a restoration of what is known as the "Harpsichord Concerto No. 1," and as such it is a work of great technical skill, but of course Nemanja's technique is not only flawless, but the polyphonic richness of the backing string ensemble and the nostalgic tinged energy of the clashing rhythms are also very much in evidence. The rhythmic clash of the two ensembles gives the piece a sense of rhythm, an intensity that feels like jazz or rock, and the beautiful timbre of the instruments' overtones, with vibrato suppressed to the utmost limit, allows the most human emotions of Bach's works to be expressed in a simple way. Of course.Selected performances from the CD will be released as 180g analog LP records in limited quantities. Warner Music Japan
