This album already carries the intention in its title: “A Tribute to Bach” is meant to be a deep bow by the world-renowned recorder player Maurice Steger to the great master of the music world, Johann Sebastian Bach.
For his Bach project, Maurice Steger has chosen six compositions that follow six different musical genres and placed the recorder at the forefront of solo instrumentation. In doing so, he places himself in the tradition of Bach himself, who has been proven to have repeatedly undertaken new instrumentations for his works in the course of his
life. The result in terms of sound is fascinating: Bach becomes a convincing recorder player through Maurice Steger’s interpretation.
