Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), composer, keyboard and violin virtuoso, inventor and designer of musical instruments, was already a legend in his own lifetime. He was hailed as the supreme genius of polyphony and Baroque Music. No other musician has ever been so inspirational and influential on endless generations of peers.
Bach’s timeless music has triumphed over centuries of stylistic changes to be embraced by all genres. In the early ‘70s Walter Carlos went multi-platinum with “SWITCHED ON BACH”, which featured the first all keyboard synthesizer recording of 10 popular J.S. Bach pieces. Sky, featuring John Williams, followed in the early ‘80s and went platinum in 3 weeks thanks to the single “Toccata and Fugue in Dm”. In the ‘90s it was Vanessa Mae who topped the charts with Bach pieces, while Jacques Lucien had been selling millions of records since the ‘60s by fusing Bach with Jazz improvisations. And, the list goes on…
In 2009! “BACH ON STEROIDS!” re-writes all the books: POP, CLASSICAL, JAZZ and ROCK with accurate and yet mind-blowingly fresh renditions of the most popular J.S. Bach pieces performed by a stellar line-up with the far superior sonic and musical quality of the new PENTASYSTEMŽ.
