Through the
collaboration of performers, producers, DJs and artists from around the world
and across the spectrum of contemporary music, different facets of Bach's
centuries-old masterpieces are transformed with fresh energy and modern
virtuosity that know no limits. Red Hot + Bach is available everywhere June 17,
2014, from Sony Music Masterworks.
The creators of Red
Hot + Bach embrace Bach as a living artistic force, as real and as vital today
as he was when he lived (1685-1750). They range across nineteen freely imagined
tracks from mandolin virtuoso Chris Thile (Nickel Creek, The Punch Brothers),
singer/songwriters Gabriel Kahane and Shara Worden (My Brightest Diamond), jazz
legend Ron Carter, DJ/producer King Britt and the Icelandic band amiina, to
imaginative classical artists such as the Kronos Quartet, composer Max Richter,
violinist Daniel Hope and organ virtuoso Cameron Carpenter.
Red Hot, a
not-for-profit production company, has been shaking up great music in just this
way for twenty-five years, in projects that celebrated the music of geniuses as
diverse as Anthony Carlos Jobim (Red Hot + Rio), Cole Porter (Red Hot + Blue),
a meeting of jazz and hip-hop artists (Red Hot + Cool), Duke Ellington (Red Hot
+ Indigo), and Fela Kuti (Red Hot + Riot). The work of Red Hot continues to
serve a social purpose – raising awareness and money in the ongoing fight to
stop AIDS. For more information please visit www.redhot.org.
Red Hot + Bach is
being released simultaneously with a special expanded digital edition featuring
ten additional tracks, and an iPad app designed to open your eyes and ears, and
lead you to discover new ways to interact with the timeless energy and beauty
of Bach's music.
