Improvised and Remixed Bach
Ever so often, I check into the
NPR website to catch up on the latest news, including to see whether there has been any segments
featuring Bach. I was delighted to see two item related to Bach and improvisation. The first (
Bach Fugue Gets the DJ Treatment) lets you hear snatches from the
Bach Remix competition at the Oregon Bach Festival. The second is an
interview with Gabriela Montero,
a Venezuelan classically trained pianist who also improvises on Bach,
among other composers. Interestingly enough, a good place to listen to
"Beyond Bach," a lovely riff on Bach is her
myspace account.
