"Bartmann's subtle creations, which never deny Bach, generate maximum sensuality with a colourful and multi-faceted exhaustion of the tonal possibilities of the instrument...Virtuosic, vital and fascinating."

About the album

The new project "minimalBACH" by piano duo "duo imPuls" is dedicated to the Preludes by Johann Sebastian Bach from the first volume of the Well-Tempered Clavier, which are placed in the new, exciting listening context of minimal music". The aim of composer and pianist Sebastian Bartmann is to use "minimalBACH" to focus on the musical essence and effects of the individual Preludes by J.S. Bach, to extract their radiance and to shed new light on them with the techniques of minimal music.
Het album minimalBACH is geheel gewijd aan de preludes van Bach, de componist van het eerste deel van Das wohltemperierte Klavier. De preludes worden door het duo imPuls, Sebastian en Barbara Bartmann, uitgevoerd met ware passie en virtuoos spel. Sebastian schreef de composities voor twee piano's en plaatste de preludes in de context van het nieuwe luisteren, de minimalistische muziek, en zo werd Bachs muziek omgetoverd tot een boeiende en filmische sensatie.

Focus op muzikale essentie van preludes

In Bachs preludes zijn ontelbare minimalistische structuren te vinden. Zijn karakteristieke compositietechniek verandert kleine muzikale ideeën en motieven in een artistiek weefsel. Minimale muziek bracht, een voorheen onbekende, radicale eenvoud voort. Sebastian Bartmann gebruikt minimalBACH om te focussen op de muzikale essentie en effecten van de individuele preludes van Johann Sebastian Bach. De pianist wil de schittering eruit halen en een nieuw licht op de preludes werpen met de technieken van minimal music en de sonore beelden van filmmuziek. Fascinerend, het is alsof je door een caleidoscoop kijkt.


Duo imPuls

Het Duitse duo imPuls staat voor gepassioneerd pianospel met intense schittering, vol diepte en kracht, toewijding en emotie. Het pianoduo betovert en inspireert publiek over de hele wereld. Geïnspireerd door de 88 toetsen van de piano, belichamen de artiesten de perfectie van intieme interactie in een nieuwe dimensie en op het hoogste niveau. De twee slaan graag nieuwe wegen in, ver weg van gebaande paden. Naast de klassiek-romantische literatuur bevat het diverse repertoire van duo imPuls ook eigen werken. Sebastian Bartmann is een bekroond en veelzijdig componist die stukken voor pianoduo schreef, maar ook orkestwerken.
minimalBACH, das neue Projekt des Klavierduos duo imPuls, ist den Präludien aus Johann Sebastian Bachs erstem Buch des Wohltemperierten Klaviers gewidmet und hier in neues, aufregendes Hörumfeld der Minimal Music versetzt. Komponist und Pianist Sebastian Bartmann möchte das Projekt minimalBACH nutzen, um sich auf die musikalische Essenz und die Effekte der individuellen Präludien zu konzentrieren, ihren Glanz hervorzuheben und mit den Methoden der Minimal Music neue Facetten zu beleuchten.

Inspired and inspired by the 88 piano keys, the artists embody the perfection of intimate interaction in a new dimension and at the highest level. Perfectly harmonious and deeply connected, they conjure up fascinating soundscapes on the stages of the world.
The rousing pianist duo stands for their very own multifaceted handwriting: the subtle artists are open-minded and curious and like to break new ground, far away from the beaten track. They also consciously cross boundaries, because their credo is to perform something original and deeply personal. And the effect is overwhelming: unique interpretations in unmistakable timbres, presented in technical and stylistic brilliance, characterise the style of the likeable artist couple.
In addition to the classical-romantic literature, the diverse repertoire of "duo imPuls" also includes his own works. Sebastian Bartmann's award-winning compositions have been performed in many European countries as well as in the USA. As a versatile composer, he is reluctant to commit himself to one style, and thus multifaceted compositions for various formats in the fields of media, film and drama as well as instrumentations for the concert are created. In addition to highly acclaimed piano duo works, he has also written orchestral works, most recently the "symphony of perfect taste" for the Brandenburgisches Staatsorchester Frankfurt/Oder, as well as "second hands - ein musikalisches Ausbruchsmärchen" for the 2nd violins of the Munich Philharmonic or "Last Letters - p.s. voices before and beyond" for the Blenheim Singers in Oxford, based on the death sentences of British personalities from history.Furthermore, the duo imPuls stands for extraordinary concert formats and concepts.

Composer(s)

Johann Sebastian Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He enriched established German styles through his skill in counterpoint, harmonic and motivic organisation, and the adaptation of rhythms, forms, and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy and France. Bach's compositions include the Brandenburg Concertos, the Goldberg Variations, the Mass in B minor, two Passions, and hundreds of cantatas. His music is revered for its technical command, artistic beauty, and intellectual depth.  Bach's abilities as an organist were highly respected during his lifetime, although he was not widely recognised as a great composer until a revival of interest in and performances of his music in the first half of the 19th century. He is now generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time.

Recklinghäuser Zeitung, 22-7-2019

... The result is beats or alienations that have a scenic effect, astonishingly synchronous and virtuosic in the performance. Minimal Bach is worth listening to. ..
