GOLDBERG – DAS ORIGINAL
In the organizer's words:
Program:
Johann Sebastian Bach: "Goldberg Variations" BWV 988
Since Jean Rondeau celebrated his international breakthrough in 2012 as the winner of the prestigious harpsichord competition in Bruges, he has brought a whole new level of attention to this instrument with his virtuosity, expressiveness and originality like almost no other artist in just a few years. For this, the French artist was awarded the Deutschlandfunk Prize at the 2016 Bremen Music Festival. It goes without saying that he also plays Bach's famous Goldberg Variations on the harpsichord, for whose fragile yet energetic sound the composer originally conceived the work. For his approach, Rondeau immersed himself in a music edition with Bach's own markings and corrections and came to the conclusion: "They are an ode to silence." The result is a completely new look inside one of the most versatile variation cycles in music history. With his admirable touch, which contrasts between balanced elegance and lively vitality, Rondeau offers an interpretation with the finest feeling for the nuances: "The whole Bach is contained in them, all the music."
