§ 01 · About the project

Bach Vibes was conceived in 2015, the anniversary edition marking ten years of solo work, with Trio Grave as the standing chamber partner: Adrian Vasile (viola), Mircea Marian (cello) and Daniel Dumitrana / Răzvan Popescu alternating on double bass. All arrangements are signed by Anastasiu.

The eponymous album Bach Vibes (2015, Fiver House Records · a limited edition of ninety copies, €12) holds eight movements, in the order selected for the digital re-release on Bandcamp (25 September 2020):

  1. Sarabande in D Minor — BWV 1004 · 3:49
  2. Chaconne in D Minor — BWV 1004 · 17:46
  3. Sarabande in D Major — BWV 828 · 7:27
  4. Gigue in D Minor — BWV 1004 · 5:07
  5. Passacaglia in C Minor — BWV 582 · 15:02
  6. Trio Sonata in E Minor — BWV 528, I. Adagio, Vivace · 2:33
  7. Trio Sonata in E Minor — BWV 528, II. Andante · 6:21
  8. Trio Sonata in E Minor — BWV 528, III. Un poco Allegro · 2:29

Digital distribution: alexandruanastasiutriograve.bandcamp.com. The Bach Vibes recital programme remains on Anastasiu's bills — a steady chamber repertoire that runs parallel to the concertante facet of the vibraphone.
