Interview with Jean-Philippe Collard Why was Bach chosen for this programme? Jean-Philippe Collard : There are several reasons for this. First of all, following some sixty recordings, one reflects upon what the next project could be. But as life advances, I wanted to imagine something that is not only something I like, something that interests me and something innovative, but also something that represents a kind of synthesis. Not of what I have done, but one that brings together the piano to the very heart of my family, my youth, and I found that the greatest common denominator was Johann Sebastian Bach. Mainly thanks to my family connections, which enabled me to listen to the great choral works, such as the passions, oratorios or the b minor Mass, I was quite fond of organ music. It has remained deeply rooted in me.
