  The new album by Marie-Andrée Joerger entitled “Bach en Miroir” will be released on April 16th, 2021.Marie-Andrée Joerger pays homage to a musical form, the Prelude and Fugue, so popular throughout the ages. The mirror effect is created by alternating preludes and fugues by Johann-Sebastian Bach and other great composers, each of whom marked their own era: Balbastre, Mozart, Schumann, Reger and Escaich. The particularly poetic and varied sounds of the accordion bring a unique dimension to these works, as if they had been written for this popular instrument. For details email: marieandree84@live.fr |
