David Fray wishes to focus mainly on the German repertoire, and particularly on Bach. To express the inspiration his favorite composer gives him, he told the Figaro newspaper: "Bach's language is nothing but absolutely modern [...] Bach guides me towards a spiritual dimension, more than any other composer. Reading his music his already enriching."
In this Pianoscope Festival Concert entirely dedicated to Bach, David Fray chose to perform his Prelude and fugue No. 24 in B Minor, the Partita No. 6 in E Minor BWV 830, and Busoni's transcription of Bach's Choral Allein Gott in der Höh'sei ehr.
