“This album is, in many ways, about love: the romantic love between husband and wife; familial love between parents and their children; and love for the Creator.”

Daniil Trifonov's new album, Bach: The Art of Life, explores the scientific, emotional and spiritual fibre of Bach's work. The exceptional Russian pianist, famous for his romantic interpretations of Rachmaninoff and Chopin, now extends his recording palette to Baroque piano music and presents an incredibly spiritual programme for Deutsche Grammophon based around Bach and his sons.

The centrepiece of the album is The Art of Fugue, one of Bach's late masterpieces written in the last ten years of his life. In the early and mid-eighteenth century - and thus before the Enlightenment - music, like other scientific disciplines, was seen as a means of expression to explain the laws of nature and thus the will of God. Consequently, the polyphonic construction of the work was a central means for the composer to musically interpret his environment. According to Trifonov, the highly spiritual character of the piece represents 'the pioneering musical realisation of Bach's personal, religious, scientific and humanistic knowledge'.
However, it is not only Bach, but also many of his descendants who make up the strength of this unique programme. Collective musical practice was an integral part of the Bach family's daily life, with each child developing his or her own style. The booklet of notes for Anna Magdalena Bach, compiled by Bach himself, summarises these personal and intimate family studies on paper, which Trifonov complements with Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach's "Ah! vous dirai-je, maman" (Ah, shall I tell you, Mama) variations, as well as works by Johann Christian, Wilhelm Friedemann and Carl Philipp Emanuel, among others.

Trifonov, an exceptional virtuoso, succeeds in doing justice to polyphonic music with his great technical precision and total artistic commitment. His sensitive and profound understanding of Bach's philosophy and compositions is a wonderful setting for this comprehensive overview of the composer's life and musical legacy, which the performer generously offers to his listeners.
