J.S. Bach: Goldberg Variations

Description

Return to Bach: following the immense success of Johann Sebastian Bach (2018), Víkingur Ólafsson has recorded the composer’s monumental Goldberg Variations, available as a digipack CD and a double vinyl. The accompanying booklet includes a captivating and in-depth essay in which the pianist discusses the work and its history. He also talks about the decisions he had to make in the studio to create a definitive version of a work he had dreamed of recording for 25 years. “For me, anyway, the genius of the Goldberg Variations lies not in the general, but in the specific. As each variation unfolds, one must be entirely gripped by its individual drama and affect, drawn into its own wonderful little microcosm and filled with the joy of discovering it,” says Ólafsson.
