Bach: Goldberg Variations
‘Like for many harpsichordists and pianists, for me, too, the Goldberg Variations rank among the most significant works of clavier literature. I listened to my first recording, produced 25 years ago, only to notice that over the course of the years I have remained true to myself in many respects. On the other hand a process of maturation has taken place, the outcome of which I now indeed wanted to document, simply because the variations are a part of my life. Linking the Goldberg Variations to La Capricciosa by Dietrich Buxtehude originated in an idea that had established itself in my mind for many years.’
