DIMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH – 24 Preludes and Fugues Op. 87
Tonality abolished or tonality diluted? – this was the dilemma which conditioned twentieth century musical creation. Dmitri Shostakovich bequeathed us a document of the greatest musical and historical value: the 24 Preludes and FuguesOpus 87, written for piano between 1950 and 1951 as homage to Johann Sebastian Bach, choosing the path of evolutionand not the crossroads of rupture. Without foregoing his aesthetic credos, Shostakovich offers a discourse which issingularly up to date and where tonality and modality are not seen as being in conflict but rather as the adhesive of arenewed discourse, ranging from the paradigms of historical reason to the new hypotheses of a freely expressive musicallanguage.
Marisa Blanes is the first Spanish pianist to have tackled the recording of this historic document, offered in concert intwo sessions of the very greatest musical and interpretative value.
