#GoldbergVariations

It's a little weird that if I wanted to explain how I work now, referring back to my experiments with the rompler orchestrations of Bach is a pretty immediate and direct solution.

On This Day 5 July: #WandaLandowska Was Born
"... born to Jewish parents in Warsaw on 5 July 1879, played a seminal role in reviving the popularity of the harpsichord in the early 20thC. A champion of 17th & 18thC music and the leading figure in the revival of the #harpsichord, Landowska was the first person to record Bach’s #GoldbergVariations on that instrument in 1933....”

#WigmoreHall #AngelaHewitt #GoldbergVariations An absolutely super Angela Hewitt performance of the Bach Goldberg variations - the first time I heard them live. Lovely time with my pianist nephew Markus!

Excellent. Didn't know Bratrice Rana's Goldberg intrrpretation, so glad to encounter it now.

A surprising interpretation, eye opening. I will stay with this recording for a while and see what it does.

So many versions of the #GoldbergVariations and here's another, reimagined for chamber forces (violins, oboe, flute, continuo etc) as Bach might've done, an utter delight. Led by the wonderful #RachelPodger the music transforms into sonatas, trio sonatas, concerti movements etc.

My kayak and I, and friend, with a nice kayak they got for next to nothing, got into the river and did in our boats.

And now to listen to my favourite Marco Salcito playing the on classical guitar. Keyboards are grand. And Marco on guitar cannot play as many notes at the same time or over as many octaves.
But the notes he plays and how he plays them opens the Variations up as being emotional and sensual delights.

Try playing Bach's Goldberg Variations on guitar.

Another world. For a little while.

At the other end of the spectrum the Icelandic pianist #VíkingurÓlafsson has released his #Bach #GoldbergVariations and it's everything you could hope for as an interpretation of Bach on a modern piano. Beautifully varied touch, sprightly rhythms, cantabile melodic lines, sure and enlightening architecture. He just can't seem to do any wrong in the recording studio and his choice of repertoire. Bonus he's touring Australia next year! tidal.com/album/319058786

Haussmann's portrait of Bach depicts him holding the manuscript to BWV 1076,

Wouldn’t it be great if they applied AI filters to Glenn Gould’s piano music?

I would pay to listen to “Glenn Gould sings the Goldberg Variations”!
