Dmitri Chostakovitch: 24 Préludes et Fugues op. 87

An encounter bridging centuries: after studying Johann Sebastian Bach and the principle of his Well-Tempered Clavier, Dmitri Shostakovich wrote his 24 Preludes and Fugues Op. 87 in the early 1950s – with one composition in each major and minor key. Mixing richness of musical allusion and technical finesse, the work seems a perfect match for the musical discoverer and virtuoso Igor Levit, who will interpret it at the Grand Auditorium on March 14. The concert is preceded by a pre-concert talk in French by André Lischke at the Salle de Musique de Chambre at 7:15 pm.
