Goldberg Variations Johann Sebastian Bach, Composer
Johann Sebastian Bach, Composer
Risto Lauriala, Piano
Finnish pianist, Risto Lauriala, has something of that old-fashioned reverence for Bach’s Goldberg Variations. But, in spite of clearly articulated phrases, his inclination both for overemphasis and to stab at notes too often interrupts the enjoyment of the listener. Contrasts lie primarily between forte and piano, and the Aria, on which the 30 Variations are built, is very slow.'
