About

In his Cal Performances debut, pianist Filippo Gorini performs Bach’s The Art of Fugue. Gorini approaches the composition as a single unfolding narrative, and has said that he is intent on both uncovering the singing quality in the composer’s lines and connecting Bach’s counterpoint and canons to an emotional tension latent below the music’s complex surface. Gorini won the Diapason d’Or Award and received the prestigious Franco Buitoni Prize.
