Note : The solo part of Infinite Bach is to be exclusively performed by Christian Svarfvar.
Size: 44221 preferably larger 88442. An option can be to play one of the concertos (approx. 15 min). It will be admitted to make a different order of movements extracted from the four concertos.
Ever since the premiere at the Royal Chapel in Stockholm, November 2016, Infinite Bach has been living in the back of our heads. Thinking what the best step would be to spread this absolutely ravishing music by JS Bach and Johan Ullén. For you who don't know - Infinite Bach is the four JS Bach violin concertos recomposed by the Swedish composer Johan Ullén.
The original score has been reworked and infused with harmonies associated with film music, pop-aesthetic, and minimalism, however, always firmly rooted in Bach.
It's been looped, twisted, and harmony has been added and taken away.
We all have favorite moments in works of music, and it is especially true in long classical works. Whether it's the tragic highlight in the song of the Wood-Dove in Schönberg's Gurrelieder or if it's the tenor aria in "E lucevan le stelle" from Puccini's Tosca, we all have them.
Just as beautiful as they are short, these favorite moments run quickly by in the stream of music. What if you could stay, what if you could hang on to that moment and stay a bit longer? This has been the final objective with Infinite Bach.
Christian Svarfvar and Johan Ullén
