Bach: Goldberg Variations | Evgeni Koroliov (Bachfest Leipzig 2008)

The Goldberg Variations for a desert island: Evgeni Koroliov plays the Goldberg Variations by Johann Sebastian Bach at the Bachfest Leipzig 2008.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750) gave the following inscription to the cycle for harpsichord that today is known as the Goldberg Variations: “Keyboard exercise, consisting of an ARIA with diverse variations.” The first edition of this harpsichord exercise was published in the fall of 1741 and formed the 4th part of a collection of compositions for harpsichord that Bach had compiled for the secular concerts of the Collegium Musicum. In the Bach catalog of works, the harpsichord variations are listed under the number 988 (BWV 988).
The common name Goldberg Variations (Goldberg Variationen) originated only in the 19th century and derives from an anecdote that contemporary scholars have proved to be historically inaccurate. According to the anecdote, the harpsichord pieces were commissioned by Hermann Carl von Keyserlingk. Keyserlingk was a Russian diplomat and had met Johann Sebastian Bach personally in Dresden in 1741. Because Keyserlingk suffered from insomnia, he is said to have requested from Bach piano pieces that his harpsichordist Johann Gottlieb Goldberg could play for him during sleepless nights. As a result, the harpsichord variations are said to be named after Keyserlingk's private musician Johann Gottlieb Goldberg. Although this is not true, the name Goldberg Variations has become the standard.
The Goldberg Variations are a masterpiece of baroque compositional art. They consist of an aria with a bass theme that varies 30 times in quite distinct ways. Every third variation is a canon, and of the altogether 10 canons, the last is a quodlibet in which Bach has interwoven two folk songs. The 16th variation is an overture and marks the beginning of the 2nd part. The final da capo aria completes the cycle. The Goldberg Variations were composed for double manual harpsichord, whereby 15 variations only require single manual, 11 variations require double manual, and 4 variations require either single or double manual. It is therefore a particular challenge to play Bach's Goldberg Variations on the piano.
Evgeni Koroliov, born in Moscow in 1949, is considered one of the greatest Bach interpreters of our time. Koroliov has lived in Hamburg since 1978 and has performed on all the world's great stages. His piano repertoire spans all musical epochs, but it is with his Bach interpretations in particular that Evgeni Koroliov has been able to impress the music world time and again. The composer György Ligeti once professed that he would take Koroliov's rendition of Bach's “The Art of Fugue” to a desert island. This adage could easily be applied to Koroliov's Goldberg Variations-one could surely set off to a desert island with them.

Bach's music seems like it's written on the rules of the universe itself, on a material level, like the gravity laws, but most of all on a spiritual level. It's like it's always in the air, and when someone's playing it he's just raising the volume of something that was already there

It is the nature of great art to transcend the Artist simply because socially, on human scales we absorb great art to enhance our psychic well-beings, to heal ourselves, individually and socially… and perhaps our needs in this regard are constantly shifting, and for good healthy reasons. This performance by Koroliov qualifies as precious human therapy for any human ill that great art can assuage … and that’s a lot of ills. Thank you Maestro Koroliov.

Memorising works come from years of studying the same piece, I highly doubt anyone could sight read some of Listz works, there probably is a hand full of people that can, but very very low amount that could

I was a piano major at university and studied piano for 18 years starting in my teenage years. I've always preferred Bach and consider him the greatest composer of all time. And of all pianists, I think Gould's playing of Bach is the finest, and unmatched. But I also admire Grigory Sokolov, and Murray Perahia. Old recordings of Roselyn Tureck, and Edwin Fischer are also really really good. András Schiff gets a lot of praise, but I don't care for his playing that much. Although his knowledge and understanding of Bach's music is very broad and comprehensive. His playing, though 'perfect' does not move me.

Classical musical compositions are based in a language which vocabulary is learned through the years so you don't have to memorize every single note. When you see musicians playing in the orchestra with the score, it's because they note there the indications of the conductor. A soloist doesn't need that.

This must be one of the most balanced examples of the GBV in history. I don't think it _quite_ reaches the published interpretations by Perahia, but these resemble each other in their mature and balanced nature. Not the hyper-masculine, dominant takes of Gould, Gulda or Lang Lang, but also not the effeminate and mushy versions which one can basically trash.

If it hadn’t been for those 12 catastrophic years, THIS and Beethoven, Goethe, Eisenberg, Einstein and so many other artists and thinkers is what Germany would be known and celebrated for. I’ll never truly understand why they chose to plunge into the abyss of hatred.

When I hear variation 20 it seems God speaks directly to the human race. It is so spirited and awe inspiring that one feels a type of boundless freedom and unbridled bravado, that anything is possible if we only imagine the possibility.

Some of them have the feel of a 'piano exercise' to them and for me personally that includes variation 20. Others to me are more spiritual, like Variation 13. But of course, everyone are allowed his/her own taste and opinion. I recently released my versions of favorite Goldberg Variations (kindly visit my page and have a listen).

A distinct timing, different from many popular versions. Definitely interesting! It is as if the timing invites relaxation, more in-line with the "before-sleep" idea for the aria and variations.
