Regional Spotlight: A tribute to Bach

Juho Pohjonen plays Franck

An appreciation of Bach's music grew slowly in the 19th century, especially in France. One outspoken proponent of Bach was composer Cesar Franck. His 1885 work Prelude, Chorale and Fugue is a tribute to the austerity, yet deep-feeling nature, of Bach. One critic wrote: "The piece is an essay in which doubt and faith, darkness and light, oscillate until a final ecstatic resolution." And that is what you feel in Finnish pianist Juho Pohjonen approach to this piece. His performance from a Frederic Chopin Society recital earlier this year is in this week's Regional Spotlight.
