Red Hot & Bach/ Various - Red Hot & Bach

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 19 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.
