Bach´s music is a synthesis of the music that came before his time and a wellspring for all subsequent music. It took me 25 years of playing his sonatas to understand what this really means and to feel myself properly at home; having the opportunity to teach this music at a Bach Academy in Leipzig was an unforgettable experience."
