Spark - die klassische Band - BACH - BERIO - BEATLES - Eine Hommage an musikalische Heroen.
The ECHO Klassik award-winning ensemble Spark brings together three icons of Western music: Johann Sebastian Bach as the forefather of classical art music, Luciano Berio as one of the most influential composers of the 20th century, and the Beatles as titans of pop music. Despite the initial apparent differences between these three sound worlds, they are united by a spirit of vision, an expression of subtle sensuality, and the flair of constant curiosity. This is precisely what captivates the musicians of Spark, who enjoy constantly reinventing themselves and questioning the status quo. Highly virtuosic, they navigate between Bach's counterpoint, well-known Beatles hits, and Berio's avant-garde colors. In doing so, they continuously explore new sounds and scenarios for themselves and their audience, connecting the familiar with the unheard, expanding, explaining, contrasting, and creating a lively dialogue between Baroque and Modernity. Through exciting sets and innovative collages, they demonstrate that a bit of Bach can be found everywhere, a touch of Berio is present in the Beatles, and vice versa – revealing that the spirit of Berio and the Beatles was already palpable in Bach's music. Unabashedly and naturally, Spark draws from all genres, breaks unnecessary boundaries, and celebrates with passionate dedication above all, good music, namely "Bach - Berio - Beatles."
