Music, Space, and Memory in The Silence Before Bach (Pere Portabella, 2007) - Film Secession

In this extract from The Silence Before Bach (2007), Pere Portabella's last major film, the connection between artistic performance, quotidian spaces, and myth is made startlingly evident. Portabella's montage relates several layered elements: a "phantom ride" on a moving train, camera movement, a performance by twenty celloists of the Prelude to Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major (BWV 1007, 1717), and Germany's great rivers. A perfect encapsulation of the grand ambition and associative richness of Portabella's work, the sequence connects the cinema's 19th century origins, the perpetual movement of history, and the flow of memory. Watch Portabella's films and learn more about his work, Bach, Spanish cinema, phantom rides, montage, the origins of cinema, and its many reinventions in our Pere Portabella and Film Music Exhibitions.
