Should it be true that J.S. Bach actually composed the Goldberg Variations as a sleeping aid for Graf Keyserlingk, then Evgeni Koroliov, born 1949 in Moscow, must have succumbed to a misapprehension. The further he proceeds in the series of variations of this colossal opus, the more wide-eyed the audience turned out to be. Koroliov’s performances of Bach’s music usually arouse great excitement and his rendering of Bach’s famous Aria and 30 variations is no exception. The breathtaking intensity develops out of his natural virtuosity. Koroliov is a consummate artist and he convinces his listeners through an enormous spiritual understanding of the works he performs and in whose service he puts the wide range of his artistic and interpretative abilities. In a cooperation with the Bachfest Leipzig, EuroArts has produced a recording of an exciting recital with this extraordinary phenomenon on the international piano scene - the best way to experience a famous yet demanding and certainly immensely important work by Bach.

Love the freedom of the ornaments. This is genuinely an "interpretation" rather than merely "playing it". A real pleasure to listen to.

I've never liked Glenn Goulds interpretation. Is seems to sacrifice expression for speed. A bit like a machinegun on piano rather than a masterpiece. There is no accounting for taste but Bach and the barok in general to me feel a little off when they are played to quickly. The beautiful interlocking of tones seems to get lost at too much speed.

@bucquoismusic Жыл бұрын

@@agneteht Agreed. Also Gould's constant vocal humming in the background interfered with almost every recording, and that spoilt it for me.

I love this reading of the Goldberg Variations BWV 988 made by Evgeni Koroliov, because Evgeni loves, and we love him, to repeat all the refrains, as for the score compiled by Johann Sebastian Bach himself.

Many thanks EuroArtsChannel for this remarkable rendering of the Goldberg variations by Evgeni Koroliov.He is one more of the generation of gigantic Russian pianists, staying active since the. XX century. He shares with the Russian school (Sokolov, Richter) a delicate perfection in his technique, a deep musicality, a transparent architecture, decisive digitation, His reading of the music is clear and convincing. This video from the 2008 Bachfest in Leipzig shows a mature artist in full display of his resources. Before hearing this Goldberg, I had heard him in a delicate, almost romantic version of Les Adieux, demonstrating his versatility.
