I asked myself : if I would have to bring one artist with me on a desert
island, who would it be ? The answer was easy : it would be Johann
Sebastian BACH.

The whole record should be seen as a journey around BACH's music.

The listener will start his « journey » by hearing the partita 2 and then,
thanks to little small preludes, will be led to discover transcriptions
from Liszt, Busoni and Rachmaninov.

The program of the record :

*- Partita n 2 J.S BACH*

*- Two little small preludes J.S BACH*

*- Prelude and Fugue in A minor BACH/LISZT*

*- A little small prelude J.S BACH*

*- Prelude and Gavotte BACH/RACHMANINOV*

*- Two little small preludes J.S BACH*

*- Chacone BACH/BUSONI*

This year, I've been playing this program « Around Bach » before varied
publics, always captivated.

I will record the whole program from the 2nd to the 5th of october 2014 in
Bayreuth, on a Steingraeber piano, in their studio.

The Steingraeber family is very famous for its great pianos...Six
generations have been working for their reputation.

I will be recording on a *Steingraeber E-272,* a grand piano which is
appreciated by many artists who consider it as a top-of-the-range and
innovator piano.

I will be helped by a norwegian sound engineer who is specialised in
recording classic piano music : *Geoff Miles*. He will use specific
microphones made for the pianistic gesture during the recording of « Around
Bach ».

A fund-raising : what for ?

*Steingraeber becomes a sponsor of « Around Bach »*

After presenting my « Around Bach » project to Steingraeber, this famous
piano manufacturer gave me the opportunity to play on its most famous piano
: the *E 272 and to record my CD in its studio in Bayreuth.*

*Geoff Miles : my sound engineer and artistic director*

I am lucky enough to be helped by *Geoff Miles. *He will be my sound
engineer and my artistic director.

The fund-raising will finance Geoff Miles'work. That is to say : recording,
editing and mastering the record.

Geoff Miles is the sound engineer, artistic director and producer of
various records of the "Norvegian Radio Orchestra".

Here is a non-exhaustice list of his recent projects :

He also designed microphones adapted to the pianistic gesture. Geoff Miles
often work with *Lyrinx,* a french label which is well-known for the high
quality of its recordings both on the technic and on the musical levels.

Working with such a talented, innovative and reputed person is a real
opportunity that I would like to jump on...thanks to this fund-raising!

With a Steingraeber piano and Geoff Miles, the optimal conditions would be
gathered in order to make « Around Bach » a great record.

The total amount of this project (Recording for 3 days+mastering) is 8000
euro.

This price includes :

  -3 days in the studio from the 3rd to the 5th of october 2014
  -Editing the record (three months)
  -Mastering

The amount to reach in 25 days is 4000 euro, which represents the half of
this beautiful project.
