Thinking of Bach. The musicians of the Tetraktis quartet, an inventive and original percussion ensemble, asked six living Italian composers to rethink as many Preludes and Fugues of the Well-Tempered Clavier for the timbre, sound and colors of their instruments. A project that makes use of the collaboration of the harpsichordist Enrico Baiano who places each of these ‘reinventions’ in front of the ‘mirror’ of the respective original versions, suggesting that the return to Bach is like a return to the roots of Western musical civilization.
