For those unfamiliar, ”Infinite Bach" represents the reimagining of J.S. Bach's four violin concertos, recomposed by the Swedish composer Johan Ullén. This venture involved an intricate process of reworking the original scores, infusing them with elements reminiscent of film music, a pop aesthetic, and minimalism, all while maintaining a firm foundation in Bach's timeless compositions.

These melodies have been looped, twisted, and harmonized, with layers of musical complexity added and stripped away.

We all cherish those fleeting, cherished moments within lengthy classical compositions. Whether it's the poignant aria of the Wood-Dove in Schoenberg's "Gurrelieder" or the tenor's heart-wrenching performance of "E lucevan le stelle" in Puccini's "Tosca," we each have our favorite moments.

These moments, though brief, are profoundly beautiful, yet they pass swiftly within the flow of the music. What if you could linger a little longer, savoring the magic of that singular moment? This was the ultimate aspiration behind the creation of "Infinite Bach."

In January, Svarfvar and Ullén joined forces to record ”Infinite Bach" with the London Philharmonic Orchestra at the legendary Abbey Road Studio 2.

Johan Ullén, in addition to composing the work, contributed his artistry on the cembalo during the recording sessions. Conversely, Christian assumed the conductor's role while enhancing the composition with his captivating solo violin performance.

The album, accompanied by four music videos, was unveiled to the world on November 19, 2021.

Stay attuned to this inspiring project as it continues to captivate audiences and bring the timeless beauty of Bach's music to new horizons.
