Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
"Goldberg Variations," BWV 988
Surely you have never yet heard the famous Goldberg Variations like this! Yaara Tal and Andreas Groethuysen, the world-renowned piano duo which has been distinguished by all prizes imaginable, shed new light on this masterpiece of Bach: They will present the “Aria with 30 Variations” in an adaptation which the romantic composer Josef Rheinberger prepared for two pianos – replete with rich ornamentation, extended harmonies, and all manner of additional enhancements. In this way, according to Andreas Groethuysen, “the Variations take on a new appeal.” Boldly exploring the unknown byways that lie outside the well-trodden path of the repertoire is a hallmark of these two performers. “Our approach is one of sonic and rhythmic freedom,” explains Yaara Tal. “It’s like light that constantly changes: a tiny cloud, a gust of wind that bends the branch to the right or left – and already everything looks different. We try to play the piano in a way that makes these nuances continually present.”
