Subcollection: Piano Andrea Padova, piano
Johann Sebastian BACH (1685-1750)
Goldberg Variations BWV 988
Andrea Padova’s experience is closely linked to Johann Sebastian Bach’s music: he won the “J.S. Bach International Piano Competition” (1995) and from that moment began recording several CDs devoted to J.S.
Bach’s keyboard works.
His performance of J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations prompted “The Washington Post” to write “The pianist Andrea Padova turns sound into poetry. His virtuosity, sensitively managed, resounds through every measure”.
Here follows a note about his interpretation of the Goldberg Variations: “In the execution of this CD, the variations are not only, as is the practice, divided into groups to form small unities in the great unity, but in all the cases in which Bach left an esoteric indication (in the writer’s opinion, however clearly readable: and here the motto Quaerendo Invenietis - “seek and you shall find” - of one of the canons of The Musical Offering - is valid), the interpreter has chosen not simply to place one variation after another but to link them so that the end of one flows directly into the beginning of the next, creating an intermediate form between Variations and Passacaglia (or Chaconne), which incidentally is the one in which Bach left other admirable masterpieces. A choice that some famous interpreters, both harpsichordists and pianists, among whom obviously Gould, have adopted sporadically and only for one or two pairs of variations: here, on the contrary, it is more the rule than the exception, as is evident when we listen to the last bar of the first variation which flows into the second and in the same way for many of the following variations. It seems useful to add that obviously
this choice would not be practicable if it had not in some way been made possible, i.e.planned and suggested by Bach himself.” |
