The Goldberg Variations, BWV 988, is a musical composition for keyboard by Johann Sebastian Bach, consisting of an aria and a set of 30 variations. First published in 1741, it is named after Johann Gottlieb Goldberg, who may also have been the first performer of the work. The story of how the variations came to be composed comes from an early biography of Bach by Johann Nikolaus Forkel: (For this work) we have to thank the instigation of the former Russian ambassador to the electoral court of Saxony, Count Kaiserling, who often stopped in Leipzig and brought there with him the aforementioned Goldberg, in order to have him given musical instruction by Bach. The Count was often ill and had sleepless nights. At such times, Goldberg, who lived in his house, had to spend the night in an antechamber, so as to play for him during his insomnia.

Die Goldberg-Variationen, das wohl bekannteste Werk für Tasteninstrumente von Johann Sebastian Bach, stellen einen Höhepunkt barocker Variationskunst dar. Über eine kunstvoll verzierte barocke Arie entfaltet Bach ein Wunderwerk von 30 Variationen - heitere und besinnliche, kantable und fugierte, tänzerische sowie virtuose. Jetzt erscheint dieses Werk in einer neuen, einzigartigen Fassung: Der Komponist Heribert Breuer hat eine kammermusikalische Bearbeitung für Septett geschaffen. Die Besetzung teilt sich in zwei Trios (Streich- und Bläser-Trio) auf, wobei in deren Mitte eine Harfe thront. Klanglich entfaltet sich hierbei ein neues musikalisches Erlebnis, wobei eine eindrucksvolle Transparenz sowie musikalische Farbigkeit entsteht. Im Verlauf des Variationszyklus wird die Einteilung in Bläser- und Streichtrio kompositorisch unterbrochen, sodass sich neue interessante Duo-Konstellationen, wie etwa Flöte und Harfe, ergeben können. Die erste Aufnahme der neuen Fassung entstand mit dem Goldberg-Septett unter Leitung von Heribert Breuer selbst. Bachs geniales Werk wird auf diesem Doppel-Album von ausgewählten Essays von Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) ergänzt, welche vom bekannten deutschen Schauspieler Ulrich Noethen gelesen werden.

In 1810, on the well-known journal Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung, a satirical writing by E. Th. A. Hoffmann portrayed a somewhat less-than-successful piano recital, as narrated by the pianist himself. He was asked to play Bach’s Goldberg Variations by somebody who perhaps knew them by name, but was certainly not acquainted with the work itself.

Posted by delpotro at Jan. 26, 2021

Bach's monumental Goldberg Variations stand alone in the piano literature as a work of unique artistry and brilliance. Lang Lang first began exploring this masterpiece more than 20 years ago and presents this record as the outcome of a long personal and emotional journey. Marking a new stage in Lang Lang's artistic development, it is the project of a lifetime. Alongside a studio recording is a contrasting performance, a single take from a recital in Leipzig's iconic St Thomas Church, where Bach worked and is now buried. The heart of this project is the deluxe edition - a unique, word-first offering with simultaneous studio & live recording.

Bach’s Clavier Übung is a good example of an understatement. Übung means exercise, practice; if one were to judge the book by its cover, the obvious deduction would be that Bach’s Clavier Übung is a set of finger exercises, in the fashion of Hanon or Czerny. To be sure, Domenico Scarlatti’s magnificent keyboard Sonatas are likewise called Essercizii, “exercises”; and they are far from a dry form of gymnastics for fingers. Moreover, etymologically “exercitium” relates to training in the martial arts (from exercitus, the army); thus, it was also a training in virtue. The Latin word virtus is at the root of its English translation, “virtue”, but is also related to vir, man (the soldier, the hero), and to “virtuosity”, which today indicates also technical prowess and musical accomplishment.
