Eloise Bella Kohn (piano)About
The last fugue (Contrapunctus 14) is particularly celebrated because Bach used the note-letter symbolism to write his name B-A-C-H as the letters matching the notes of the third theme, as an architect would do by engraving his name on the stone of his building. Bach was not able to finish this complex fugue any more.
"This recording offered me an opportunity to commission from Thierry Escaich, my former teacher, a new completion of this last unfinished fugue. There is a remarkable similarity between the respective musical activities of Thierry Escaich and Bach. Escaich is not only renowned as a virtuoso organist and improviser but also as one of the most sought-after composers internationally. Furthermore, he teaches composition at the Conservatoire de Paris with a focus on fugues." - Eloïse Bella Kohn
