About

During a prolific period in his artistic life, both musically and as an author – he often referred to himself principally as a composer who had drifted into authorship – Anthony Burgess composed a set of 24 Preludes and Fugues called The Bad-Tempered Electronic Keyboard, written to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the birth of Johann Sebastian Bach. This ingenious and inventive piece, with its brief romantic and music hall elements, oscillates between the classicism of Bach and the modernity of Shostakovich, whose own set of Preludes and Fugues had been written in 1950-51.

Stephane Ginsburgh has performed concerts worldwide in numerous festivals such as the Agora Ircam, Ars Musica, Bach Academie Brugge, Festival van Vlaanderen, Transit, Tzlil Meudcan, Festival de Marseille, Quincena Musical, Imatronic/ZKM, Darmstadt Ferienkurse, Gaida Festival, and the Ultima Oslo. He explores an extensive repertoire and is also known for experimenting with new configurations including voice, percussion, acting and electronics. He regularly plays with the Ictus Ensemble and has collaborated with many composers.
