A musical homage beyond modernity

"That's not modern music!" – an accusation that Wolfgang-Andreas Schultz refutes with conviction and vision.
For him, modernity is now a thing of the past. The future of music, according to Schultz, lies in a more developed tonal language: harmonic, melodic – yet contemporary.
His compositions open the door to a new era in which spiritual depth and musical structures rooted in tradition meet in fascinating ways.
Born in Hamburg in 1948, Schultz, the son of a church musician, grew up with the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. A formative influence that never left him – even during his composition studies with György Ligeti in Hamburg. There, he became Ligeti's assistant for counterpoint instruction – strictly following Bach!
But Schultz's perspective went further:
His encounter with the spirituality of the East led him back to Christianity and to a new, personal world of musical expression.
His current album,
Triptych for Johann Sebastian Bach,
combines three works arranged like a tripartite altarpiece:
a piano cycle (Variations on a Theme by J.S. Bach), an orchestral piece inspired by Raphael's Transfiguration, and another piano work (In the Eye of the Images).
Each piece reflects Bach's legacy in contemporary form.
