Description:

J S Bach Goldberg Variations by Peter Hill, released 22 June 2018. This version of J S Bach Goldberg Variations comes as a 1xCD. -

In the Goldberg Variations Bach answered a modest request - reputedly from an aristocratic patron who wanted music that was 'soft and somewhat lively' as a distraction from insomnia - with a work of immense scale and ambition, a great musical journey that traverses a dazzling kaleidoscope of musical styles. The music's wit and virtuosity is matched by the exquisite contrapuntal tracery of the canons that form the work's backbone, and by the tragic grandeur of the minor-key variations, which contain some of the most poignant music Bach ever wrote; the homecoming, as Bach ends by returning to the opening Aria, is one of the most moving passages in all music. Peter Hill here continues his acclaimed series of Bach recordings with a searchingly imaginative performance, capturing the music's zest and it's depth of feeling in a reading that is as profoundly poetic as it is beautifully colored. Hill's 6th recording for Delphian captures the artist at the very height of his powers.
