B-A-C-H
Description
Dora Deliyska’s album “The B-A-C-H Project”, released in March 2018, documents for the first time the success of her intensive musicological and philosophical concepts. Within a short time, the CD received international acclaim from critics and renowned music journalists, who described it as “an outstanding album”, “…a fascinating trans-epochal listening experience.” The pianist combines selected pieces from three masterpieces of piano literature: J. S. Bach – The Well-Tempered Clavier, D. Shostakovich – Preludes and Fugues and Fr. Chopin – Etudes. The leitmotif of the programme is the letters B, A, C, and H; these are also the tonalities of the selected pieces. The 4 blocks constitute the main components of music, as each block has its own emphasis: B – melody, A – rhythm, C – harmony and H – emotion. Creating a strong connection between the three contrast composers, Dora Deliyska believes that this project offers a new glimpse of the piano performing arts and could be considered a complete piano cycle on its own, breaking the time limits.
