Anja Lechner’s first solo-violoncello album with works by Tobias Hume, Carl Friedrich Abel and Johann Sebastian Bach will be released on 18 October on CD and digital. Pre-order now and listen to her interpretation of Carl Friedrich Abel’s ‚Arpeggio in d-minor‘ through our bio link.
In the past, Anja Lechner’s extensive discography has captured the cellist as part of the renowned Rosamunde Quartett, as well as alongside seminal artists from both trans-idiomatic sound worlds and the realm of classical music, gracing her with rare musical farsightedness. With her distinct perspective on works composed for both violoncello and viola da gamba, Lechner sheds a fresh light on music written within a span of two centuries. Framing the first two solo suites from the famous group of six Bach wrote for the violoncello at its heart, the programme encompasses Abel and Hume compositions, originally conceived for viola da gamba, which are given new colour and breadth through Lechner’s interpretation on cello – In parts newly arranged by herself. And at the end, as Kristina Maidt-Zinke notes in the album-accompanying liner notes, “one marvels at the lightness and inner logic with which three worlds have ever so gently touched one another”. The album was recorded at the Himmelfahrtskirche in Munich and produced by Manfred Eicher.

Musik von J. S. BACH
12. 5. BAYREUTH, Steingraeber Klaviermanufaktur 19:30
14.4. FREISING bei München, Diözesanmuseum 11:00
Lena Neudauer violine
Anja Lechner violoncello
Fred Thomas piano und arrangements
Gemeinsam widmet sich das Trio einer breiten Auswahl aus Bachs Werk, darunter Kantaten, Tanzsuiten, Solostücke sowie Auszüge aus den Goldberg-Variationen und dem
Wohltemperierten Klavier. Die Bearbeitungen stellen die gewohnten Erwartungen an das Klaviertrio behutsam in Frage und offenbaren stattdessen die leuchtende Klarheit und die innere Freude, die den Werken innewohnen. In den Aufführungen des Trios bleibt die Musik ganz sie
selbst, zugleich jedoch befreit von den Grenzen von Zeit und Ort und hinterlässt den Eindruck, dass Bach alles durchdringt und umschließt.
