CD: Johannes Tonio Kreusch Plays Bach

Johannes Tonio Kreusch: guitar
.

“There are – God knows – a lot of Bach recordings with classical guitar. And yet this one is special. It is of great creative power, so that one might think that one encounters here the causal genius of the baroque composer.” (Fono Forum)

“Johannes Tonio Kreusch ́s playing is very intense and expressive, with boundless heights and depths, full of sensuousness. With Bach, he has a completely independent idea of musical and formal rigor. What at first seems like nonconformism is really a desire to bring to light new and overlooked aspects of this great music.” (Guitar and Lute Magazine)

“That’s what jazz is all about – inventing something new. That’s exactly what the three musicians have done – showing jazz, which is stuck in many constraints and conventions, the way back into the open air (…) Guardians of the Grail of Free Improvisation – A Masterpiece” (JAZZ THETICS)
