Synopsis

Product Description
RED HOT + BACH
DISCOVERS A CONTEMPORARY EDGE IN THE MUSICAL GENIUS OF J.S. BACH

Featuring Chris Thile, Gabriel Kahane, Ron Carter, King Britt, Kronos Quartet and more

Red Hot + Bach charts a new pathway into the musical universe of Johann Sebastian Bach. 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 knows no limits. The creators of Red Hot + Bach embrace Bach as a living artistic force, as real and 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 and violinist Daniel Hope.

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 Antonio Carlos Jobim (Red Hot + Rio), Cole Porter (Red Hot + Blue), Duke Ellington (Red Hot + Indigo) and Fela Kuti (Red Hot + Riot). The work of Red Hot also continues to serve a social purpose raising awareness and money in the ongoing fight to stop AIDS. All of Red Hot's work is not for profit and its albums and projects have generated over 12 million dollars in donations.

Red Hot + Bach is being released simultaneously with 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.
