Johann Sebastian Bach; Lang Lang |

Superstar pianist Lang Lang has realised a lifelong dream by recording Johann Sebastian Bach’s monumental keyboard work, the Goldberg Variations, often described as “a musical Everest”. Lang Lang first began exploring this masterpiece more than 20 years ago and the recording is the culmination of a long personal and emotional journey.
Lang Lang was just 17 when he played the Goldberg Variations from memory for the conductor and pianist Christoph Eschenbach and he subsequently sought expert advice from leading interpreters of the composer’s music including conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt and harpsichordist and early keyboard specialist Andreas Staier. Having allowed his relationship with the work to evolve naturally over time, Lang Lang finally felt ready to record the Goldberg Variations.
"This isn’t just the most exceptional and creative work in the keyboard repertoire, it’s also the most multidimensional. It allows us to draw on everything we have within ourselves, but also makes us realise what’s missing and what we still have to learn.”
