Few pieces have received such varied and frequent interpretation as Bach's Goldberg Variations. Perhaps that is what makes this music so timeless. Glenn Gould's recordings on piano MAY be the most ubiquitous, but it is for the harpsichord that the work was originally written. Recorded in Leipzig's Thomaskirche-where Bach wrote this music 280 years ago-Persian-American harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani applies his crisp articulation and a thrillingly dynamic style to Bach's virtuosic variations. "[He] feels like the harpsichord's answer to the young Gould-exuberant, antisentimental, bracing" (The New Yorker).
This concert is partially supported by James and Joan Shapiro
