In this inspiring episode of The Piano Pod, "Bach Reimagined - Artistic Innovation of Timeless Music for All Audiences," Eleonor Bindman - pianist, arranger, and recording artist - joins us for an intimate conversation about her groundbreaking work reimagining the music of J.S. Bach for solo and four-hand piano.

From her bestselling Brandenburg Duets with Jenny Lin to her most recent solo project ABSOLUTE—featuring beautifully idiomatic piano transcriptions of Bach’s Lute Suites—Eleonor’s artistry invites musicians and listeners of all levels to discover the joy, depth, and brilliance of Bach.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why she believes “there is no one way to play Bach”
  • Her transcription philosophy and creative process
  • Advocating for accessible classical music—without compromising quality
  • How piano duets can foster collaboration, joy, and musicianship at every stage
  • Tips for navigating polyphony, articulation, pedaling, and ornamentation in Bach’s keyboard works
  • Her Stepping Stones to Bach series and empowering adult amateurs and young students alike
  • Legacy, innovation, and what it means to be a 21st-century artist-educator

🎧 Whether you are a teacher, performer, or passionate amateur, this episode is packed with insights, artistry, and heart.
