Viviane Chassot – Pure Bach (2021) [FLAC 24bit/96kHz]

Viviane Chassot plays works by Johann Sebastian Bach on the accordion. Unusual at first glance, the combination works astonishingly well. After succesful albums with Haydn and Mozart piano concertos played on the accordion, Viviane Chassot now concentrates on one of the most famous composers of the Baroque era: Johann Sebastian Works. The tracklisting includes highlights as the famous Italian Concerto.

The music of Johann Sebastian Bach has brought accordionist Viviane Chassot out of a serious personal crisis. Since she discovered how well the music of the Thomaskantor can be reproduced on the accordion, she has now created a Bach album – after Haydn and Mozart. With works from the Woltemperierte Clavier, the well-known ‘Italian Concerto’ as well as other suites and partitas. The artist explains: ‘The liveliness and power may jump out at us first when we hear Bach’s music. But the composer did not have an easy life and anything but a straight path through life – he had to put up with many strokes of fate, became an orphan at the age of ten, lost his first wife at an early age; children also died. Death accompanied him throughout his life – and I think that these aspects of pain and loss always resonate in his music, even when it is superficially dancing or simply cheerful’. Bach and accordion – this combination is not exactly obvious. But Viviane Chassot says: ‘What is very much in favor of the accordion as a possible instrument for Bach’s music for keyboard instruments are the wind-like shaping possibilities that I have thanks to the bellows. With it and with differentiated articulation, I can make the music breathe and speak; I achieve dynamics and a variety of colors through diverse registration possibilities. And the virtuoso dance movements are given a musical – even archaic – touch on the accordion’.
