Bach – Reger, Yun – Holliger
Johann Sebastian Bach: Prelude in B minor, BWV 923
Isang Yun: Shao Yang Yin (1966)
Heinz Holliger: Lebenslinien [Lifelines] (2021)
Max Reger: Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Bach in B minor, Op. 81 (1904/08)
Tomoki Park (piano)
The opening of the aria “To fathom His omnipotence” from J. S. Bach’s Cantata 128 “On Ascension Day alone” became the starting point for Max Reger in 1904 for a monumental cycle of 14 variations plus a fugue. The Prelude in B minor, with which Tomoki Park introduces his recital, is a fully composed improvisation with a fantastically sweeping character. Tomoki Park juxtaposes Yun’s Shao Yang Yin (1968), composed for the Basel musician and patron Antoinette Vischer, with Heinz Holliger’s Lebenslinien (2021), which is inspired not only by the biography of the great musician Clara Haskil.
