Classical CD Of The Week: Anton Batagov's Bach
With Batagov, we are not dealing with a Partita anymore. Notes, Suspended in Space. The movements, although still containing all the notes in the right order, are broken, refracted, restored, abstracted and revived. More than once I had the aural image of Einstein on the Beach come to mind. No coincidence that Batagov has recorded Philip Glass’ works with the composer’s seal of approval. Mesmerizing experience. It is held together by a generously sensational pianism; a touch that can keep notes alive long after they have been struck and faded away… Close your eyes and allow yourself the trip.

Anton Batagov Biography
Composer and pianist Anton Batagov is one of the most influential and iconic figures in the world of new classics. His discography includes almost 60 albums. He plays on the world's most prestigious stages. His compositions have been performed and recorded by outstanding classical and rock musicians and orchestras. The philosophy of Batagov's projects eliminates any boundaries between "performance" and "composition" by viewing all existing musical practices—from ancient rituals to rock and pop culture and advanced computer technologies—as inseparable elements of his own practice.
Anton Batagov is one of the closest collaborators of Philip Glass, one of the key performers of his music. He has been touring internationally with Glass. His Glass albums have received critical recognition, thousands of sales and millions of streams.
As a composer, Batagov has his own unique voice. The post-minimalist language of his compositions is rooted in the harmonic and rhythmic patterns of Russian church bells mixed with the spirit of Buddhist philosophy, the dynamic pulse of early Soviet avant-garde, and the unfading energy of progressive rock. Batagov is an author of several movie soundtracks and original music for numerous television channels.
