Andrew von Oeyen plays J.S. Bach: Overture in the French Style, BWV 831: VIII. Echo

Andrew von Oeyen plays J.S. Bach’s eight-movement Overture in the French Style on his album dedicated to this innovative genius and his successor Beethoven. Discover here: This recording, made in France in September 2020, was greatly shaped by the events of this unprecedented year. “While I had studied many of [Bach’s] keyboard works, I almost never performed them; I was not a specialist. Yet his music was calling, and with a newfound liberty of time to explore repertoire without professional deadlines, I decided to bury my troubles in his contrapuntal canon. While reading through a four-voice fugue I told myself: ‘This is good for the brain and fingers.’ … But I soon realised this was no academic pursuit; the attraction was deeper. Something about this music just seemed to make sense now, when so little else did.“ – Andrew von Oeyen Video: Josh de la Fuente / Raphael Wertheimer __________ Warner Classics ► Website: Subscribe to our: ► YT- Channel: ► Newsletter Follow us on: ► Facebook: ► Instagram: ► Twitter: ► YouTube: Listen to us on: ► Spotify: ► Apple Music: ► Deezer Warner Classics is the home of classical music, featuring iconic high audio quality recordings from the greatest classical legends, opera stars and orchestras of the last century.
