.He had, the famous French organist and composer Thierry Escaich once said, a "need to draw from the heritage of the past" - and thus "to reinvent the future without a narrow-minded avant-garde attitude". Where exactly this forward-looking past lies is quickly clarified in the case of his Concerto for Violin and Oboe, premiered in 2014 by the soloist couple Lisa Batiashvili and François Leleux: Johann Sebastian Bach's own Double Concerto for this instrumentation sounds through in all movements, as material, as quotation, as echo. Old and new merge here into a timeless whole. Such a parallelism would probably also have pleased Johannes Brahms, as he himself demanded: "Study Bach, there you will find everything!" No sooner said than done: Brahms found his theme for the Passacaglia final movement of the 4th Symphony in the final chorus of the Bach cantata "After you, Lord, I long for you". The heritage of the past, it was just at all times a rich treasure.
