Francesco Tristano announces the release of Bach: The 6 French Suites BWV 812 to 817, out on June 19 on naïve. The album continues his exploration of the keyboard works of Johann Sebastian Bach, following The 6 Partitas, The 6 English Suites and The 7 Toccatas, and forms part of his ongoing project to record Bach’s complete works for keyboard, developed through his platform intothefuture.

The first single, Bach: French Suite in D minor BWV 812, 5. Menuet II is now available on all platforms. This initial release offers a clear introduction to the character of the recording and its approach to Bach’s writing.

Composed between 1722 and 1725, the French Suites offer a more intimate and lyrical perspective on Bach’s music. Built around a sequence of dance movements, the works unfold with clarity, balance and a natural sense of flow. In this recording, FT focuses on continuity and contrast, shaping each suite as a complete musical arc while bringing out the expressive depth and melodic quality of the music.

The project also extends beyond sound through an ongoing collaboration with photographer Breno Rotatori, whose images accompany each release and form a parallel visual language. Together, they create a unified artistic universe where music and image evolve side by side.
