Goldberg Variations

A new account of the Goldbergs by Challenge pivotal pianist. A performance that inputs new visions within a picture that respects the score and the interpretative tradition. Including a bonus CD with works of Daan Manneke.

We at Challenge are proud to present a new account of Goldberg Variations by critically acclaimed young pianist Hannes Minnaar. His rendition of Goldbergs sums up all the features of a 'contemporary' interpretation at the highest degree:

- Transparent, detailed, and crystal-clear phrasing: each and all notes are discernible.

- A supreme - but not artificial nor mannered - control and care of tone and sound: touch, colour and timbre are all fruit of a clearly deep insight and work.

- A smooth flow of the discourse: a solid overall concept of the work structure and a plain, simple (never emphasized) 'singing' of the melodic line. (Even when he takes a very slow tempo - as in the famous Variation no. 25, about 30% slower than usual - he always sustains the melody, that means it is not the tempo that makes the melody living, but the capacity to make it flow, to 'connect' sounds and silences).

- These Goldbergs are not told as a narrative: it is not a dramatic tale, but the architectural structure is well visible. It is not a story, it is a three-dimensional visual art work.

- Northern Star gave Minnaar the sound that perfectly matches his concept of the work. The rest is made by the unique Chris Maene piano.

A 'Goldberg' for the 21st Century.
