La Vague Classique: Vanessa Wagner

In France, Vanessa Wagner was one of the first pianists to play the works of Philip Glass. The many resonances between the purity of the American minimalist composer's music, on the one hand, and the near-perfection of Bach's, on the other, gave her the idea for this unprecedented program: the hypnotic scope of Glass's Etudes responds - almost three centuries apart - to a founding ensemble of Western music: the preludes to Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier. A celebration of rhythm and harmony at their purest, most transcendent.
