Maria Perrotta, piano : Bach, Chostakovitch, Di Bari

Presented by PIANO DOMUS (PLATESV-D-2023-006822) Sounds in the mind. Polyphonic Mirrors – A fascinating journey across three centuries of polyphony, between Bach, Chostakovitch and Marco Di Bari. The exploration of counterpoint runs through music history like a guiding thread of formal rigor and expressive quest. The Art of Fugue by J.S.Bach represents the peak of Baroque polyphony: a monumental work where a single theme is explored through every canonical and fugal combination. In the twentieth century, Dimitri Chostakovitch renewed this dialogue with the German master. His later Preludes and Fugues Opus 87 combine classical structural clarity with dramatic tension, harmonic depth, and the introspection of modern language. This evolution continues into contemporary music with two studies by Marco Di Bari, where constructive rigor meets innovative exploration of timbre and virtuosity. PROGRAMME: J.S.Bach – The Art of Fugue; Marco Di Bari – Details to come; Chostakovitch – Preludes and Fugues Opus 87
