Bach reimagined for the saxophone: this is what the experimental Arcis Saxophone Quartet has set out to do in its project »JSB:48«, focusing on the »Well-Tempered Clavier«. Johann Sebastian Bach dedicated this groundbreaking piano work to those eager to learn as well as to professionals, thus opening up a playground that the four Munich saxophonists are only too happy to enter today: they are recording all 48 fugues in a new version for saxophone quartet and have commissioned 48 composers worldwide to write a new prelude each. The result is a diverse and exciting collection, from which the Arcis Saxophone Quartet will present a selection in the festive Fürstensaal in Bad Imnau. The Bach resonances are complemented by works that are all inspired by the »Well-Tempered Clavier«.
