Being John Sebastian Bach

Igudesman & Joo with John Malkovich - BEING JOHN SEBASTIAN BACH is an encore of the project “The Music Critic“ premiered at Julian Rachlin & Friends festival 2010. A further extract from “The Music Critic“ will be available on YouTube soon. THE MUSIC CRITIC Schumann fancies himself a “composer“ while Brahms is a gift-less bastard and Debussy is simply ugly. Igudesman has created a sardonic melange of the most evil original music critiques of the last centuries many of them written about some of the greatest works of chamber music. Malkovich slips into the role of the evil music critic, who believes the music of Beethoven, Chopin, Ravel and the like to be weary and dreary, while Julian Rachlin and other great musicians beg to differ. Music by Bach, Piazzolla, Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, Debussy, Ravel, Kanchelli, Prokofiev, Schumann and Igudesman.
