John Williams Plays Bach – John Williams, ASMF

Antes de começar, talvez seja preciso explicar que esse John Williams aqui não é aquele compositor de filmes de Holywood, autor de trilhas sonoras de filmes como ‘Indiana Jones’. Esse aqui é australiano, e é um dos maiores violonistas de todos os tempos. Sua histórica gravação do ‘Concierto de Aranjuez’ com o mítico maestro Eugene Ormandy foi a minha introdução à música clássica, lá quando eu tinha meus cinco ou seis anos de idade, e continua sendo minha gravação favorita desse concerto, coincidentemente realizada no ano de meu nascimento, em 1965.
Mas John Williams gravou muito mais depois disso, talvez mais de cem discos, dos mais variados compositores, incluindo aquele nosso maior compositor, cujo nome não podemos nem mencionar aqui no PQPBach.
Estou trazendo para os senhores hoje um conjunto de quatro CDs, todos dedicados a Bach. Suítes, prelúdios, fugas,  transcrições para violão do segundo concerto para violino, além das suítes francesas, inglesas, entre outras peças. Em todas elas, o talento e virtuosismo de Williams nos proporciona momentos de absoluto deleite. É realmente para se ouvir de joelhos, e agradecer que temos a oportunidade de ouvir isso. Uma overdose de Bach …

Espero que apreciem.
