"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."
Recklinghäuser Zeitung, 22-7-2019Focus 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.

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

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