Goldberg Variations BWV 988

Approved

Hear Aldeburgh Festival featured musician pianist Pavel Kolesnikov perform Bach’s Goldberg Variations.

The Goldberg Variations have long been regarded as one of the most ambitious works for keyboard, displaying Bach’s exceptional knowledge of the many different styles of music of his day. Pavel Kolesnikov’s performance is not to be missed.

“Like climbing an infinite stairway, one step at a time” is how Kolesnikov has described working on the Goldberg Variations. He has released them on an outstanding, five-star reviewed recording, and performed them in an empty Wigmore Hall; with dancer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker at the Châtelet in Paris; and at the BBC Proms.

“And now,” says the pianist, ”when I’m performing the piece on my own, it grows independently and I arrive at ideas... it’s developing in different directions, growing like a tree, and I like this feeling very much.”
