Pianist Lars Vogt presents one of the classic works of the Baroque repertoire – Johann Sebastian Bach’s (1685–1750) famous Goldberg Variations. Originally written for the harpsichord the Goldberg Variations, published in 1741, embody an Aria with 30 variations and a coda. Bach wrote the work for Johann Gottlieb Goldberg, who, as the narrative says, often played music as a cure for Count Kaiserling’s insomnia. Apparently the work was one of the successes that Bach had during his lifetime and it was also published during his lifetime.

Lars Vogt was appointed the first ever “Pianist in Residence” by the Berlin Philharmonic in 2003/04 and enjoys a high profile as a soloist and chamber musician.

Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach
Performer: Lars Vogt

Every keyboard player wants to play Bach’s Goldberg Variations, immortalised for modern times by Glenn Gould in two sets of recordings, and by András Schiff among countless others. The German pianist Lars Vogt refers to this 75-minute work as a “sacred object”. It was 17 years before he was ready to record it. Informed by period performance practice but playing on a modern grand, Vogt uses very little pedal and keeps ornaments clean and graceful. Textures are transparent. The simplicity, wit and honesty of his approach makes this a wonderful addition to the catalogue by a versatile musician - recently appointed music director of the Royal Northern Sinfonia at the Sage. Lucky them.
