Dirigent, componist en pianist Reinbert de Leeuw is op 14 februari 2020 op 81-jarige leeftijd overleden.
In de jaren zestig brak pianist en componist Reinbert de Leeuw een lans voor de destijds nagenoeg vergeten Franse componist Erik Satie. Een man die rond de vorige eeuwwisseling volledig tegen de tijdgeest in componeerde. Satie schreef korte, uitgeklede muziek. In de handen van Reinbert de Leeuw werd iedere tempowisseling en wending in het werk van Satie ongekend expressief. De Leeuw verkocht er talloze platen mee.

Reinbert de Leeuw has a fascination for the French excentric composer Erik Satie. In the 60s and 70s Reinbert de Leeuws recordings of Saties music were immensely popular. Thirty years later Reinbert de Leeuw is still fascinated by Saties music and performs all six Gnossiennes with new tempi.

Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach
Artist: Yuan Sheng piano
This is the third instalment of Yuan Sheng’s complete Bach cycle played on the piano, previous issues include the Goldberg Variations and the Italian Concerto/French Overture.
“China’s premier interpreter of Bach”, is what International Piano Magazine called Yuan Sheng. A pupil of Solomon Mikowsky (Manhattan School of Music) and notably Rosalyn Tureck Yuan Sheng extensively studied the performance practice of Baroque music. Equally at home at the harpsichord he has an instinctive feeling for the possibilities, sonorities and touch of the instrument at hand, so that “the listener might easily have imagined the composer at the keyboard” (Boston Intelligencer).
This recent recording of the complete 6 Partitas is again a marvel of elegance, wit, rhetoric and brilliance, played on a modern Steinway.
Besides pursuing an international career Yuan Sheng is Professor of Piano at the Bejing Central Conservatory of Music.
