- "I’ve been studying this work for more than 20 years - performing and recording it has been a lifelong dream.”
So says Lang Lang about J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations, a monumental keyboard work consisting of 30 variations introduced and concluded by an Aria.
"This is the most creative and multidimensional work in the keyboard repertoire, it is also deeply emotional and goes straight to the heart,” he adds.
“One can delve deeper and deeper into its different dimensions and always discover something new.”

Before I go into the earth, please grant me the time and ability to learn to play the first two minutes of this absurdly beautiful piece. It would go so well the the person I'll be eating at the time.
Favorite piece
Bravo!
To that one Genshin player who came into my world and played then recommended me this… I want you to know that your right it’s great
Amazing recording. It sounds so clear and intimate.
En mi humilde opinión, creo que hay que olvidarse de estilos, instrumento, etc. Lo que se oye en esta grabación es algo que no se puede explicar con palabras.
Oh God this was awful, not even close to the original 1956 Glenn Gould recording. This performance is so out of whack that it doesnt even make sense musically. Bach would have a fit if he heard it. Lang Lang may fool people who dont know piano but not the people how truly know what they are hearing. I wish I had never heard this version.
Oh don't be such a elitist. Unless you're Bach's ghost, you have no standing to say that Gould's interpretation of Bach is any more valid that Lang's interpretation. They are both artists giving their own voice to Bach. If people want to listen to Gould, they can do that. We don't need pianists trying to imitate Gould for perpetuity.
@@azaz911c I highly doubt a very conservative Lutheran from the 18th century that wrote his music for God would sensualize the music like LL. The Aria is already highly adorned musically, and this over-the-top "feeling" is all wrong in my book. I think it would be a good bet that the 1955 Gould recordings are much closer to what Bach had in mind.
@@JM-ib9kb If everyone played Bach in the same way, what would be the point of playing it anymore? By way of analogy, if we are watching a Shakespearean play, do we expect it to be performed the same way over and over again, by different actors? Or is it acceptable, indeed better, if each actor provides his own interpretation to the role? That's what art is about. Otherwise, we could just create a computer generated recording of Bach, and say, yes, "that's as close to Bach as it will ever be", and listen to that forever.
Hannibal brought me here. I will forever be thankful for that show for all the beautiful music I discovered because of it...

Why drive past beautiful scenery at 150 MPH ?
I've always preferred Bach at a slower tempo.... so much detail of voices, perfectly brought to life here , meandering and crossing in perfect harmony. Time is needed to savor it all. Absolutely beautiful and brought tears to my eyes.
Thank you.
Nah, too slow
Agreed
@@Kumurajiva I would actually say it's almost too fast and I know more about music than you
Glenn Gould drove past beautiful scenery at 150 mph and got a speed ticket, crashed into things, and pulled off the journey well.
All those older interpreters had to play really fast so it would fit on a recording. I’m glad those limits have more or less disappeared nowadays
A favourite of mine to come back to. Happy to have this gem to listen to over the years
I Love You Lang Lang!!!

A great version by Lang Lang, it's definitely the slowest version and one of the most expressive.
Made me cry. Played this piece for one year half an hour every day. Didn't come even close to lang langs interpretation. Opened a new dimension to me I can try 'copy' now. Maybe I feel a little bit of whats going in in LLs mind then. This piece is like a drug I can take every day without negative effects.
Well, thanks for trying to turn Bach into Chopin. Dislike. Not that your interpretive dance-like manner of playing isn’t beautiful in its own way, but it makes a mockery of Bach; of the rhythmic precision and ornate beauty of baroque music.
In a word, it is touching.
Although Bach's Goldberg is difficult to express with various decorative sounds and variations in each movement, Lang Lang perfectly expressed everything.
I deeply appreciate your excellent performance.
I'm sorry. My mistake.
@@Johnwilkinsonofficial Excuse my effing Goldenberg me, lets see you spell Lang Langs name....in Chinese!
So much more of a mature interpretation than years ago, keep it up?
My favourite from the Golderberg Variations.
You play so beautifully. Thank you.
Beautiful! ❤
I used to listen to this Bach in the day. 👍
I have to say I am nearly as enthusiastic as most other of those who commented here. A slowish tempo is appropriate but to my ear this performance comes across as a bit thin. True, the aria is heavily ornamented - which compensates for the rather sparse texture - so this tempo is fitting. As is said - my agogic's are right, yours are not - but I found some in the second section almost distracting. Perhaps I am deceiving myself but in the full recording he seems to take the tempo up just slightly. We were also so accustomed to Gould's driving force that it was more than time for alternatives. I personally much prefer the performance by Beatrice Rana. I have to say the same about the full performance. Eg, in the first variation he accents to base in an unusual almost bouncing manner. Of course, de gustibus . .
I’ve listened to this wonderful Aria so many times played by different performers throughout my life and invariably enjoyed their particular rendition, whether fast or slow and even in syncopated form. However played it’s because Bach shaped the notes and made them forever sound beautiful, moving and wonderful. However, Lang Lang here choses to make the notes flow like water droplets trickling off an uneven surface during Autumn’s gentle rain. Lang Lang makes the notes appear, at times to hesitate, pool on the surface and then trickle momentarily faster until drained, only to resume their tempo once again until the next pause followed by sudden release. They are unmistakably Bach’s notes, but Lang Lang’s interpretation of how they should sound, here makes them special. I loved it, thanks Lang Lang. In contrast, go and listen to Gould’s interpretation, he creates quite a different picture.
Beautifully put. This video is one of my favorite interpretations
Wow, I see things through your comment
Well said!
Very nice..!!!
the name Bach in English is ''Brook '' flowing water
after I heard Gould version..I couldn't find any other interpretation close to qualify to compare, even this version...
Same here 👍. Every time I hear a different interpretation I subconsciously seek the sound of Gould through out it.
i love G. Gould too, but also some interpretations i personally find incredibly refreshing are J. Rondeau's and E. Koroliov's.
it’s better in the harpsichord by gustav leonhartd
I don't get why there are so many hate comments. I know most of you are NOT experts, and if the video is off none of you will be able to tell this is done by LL. You just spit out hatred as soon as you see his face before even hear a single note. Please grow up and learn to appreciate the music given during this very difficult time.
Thank you for your talent and your beautiful music!
Love your interp. Langlang

I can hear whole string chamber players playing each instruments, such intensity!
Those who believe that this is not the right way to interpret the work, that it refers to a more romantic interpretation, etc., should not forget that in Bach's time, the instruments he owned were the harpsichord and the clavichord.
This is enough to understand that an interpretation on the piano instead of an instrument of that time, makes it "not authentic".
Does this mean that we should only play Bach's music on the harpsichord or that we should try to make the piano imitate the harpsichord? Since a work is played on an instrument other than the one that was normally written, I consider it aesthetically very correct to use the possibilities of the present instrument and in this case of the piano. I believe that Bach himself, having a piano like this Steinway, would surely be inspired again on the interpretation of this work.
I honestly think you can still fully use the possibilities of the piano and remain in a "Baroque spirit" (whatever that means). The piano is to me a very neutral and abstract instrument, it's not romantic in essence. There are much more possibilities of being "authentic" on the piano than just trying to imitate the harpsichord, which I think fails most of the time because the piano is a lot more neutral than the harpsichord (it then sounds dull, dry, not very convincing imho). Much more interesting to me is that the piano offers you the possibility to "imitate", to evoke a Baroque ensemble, a lute improvisation, a trio sonata, a concerto grosso... That is to me the way Baroque music should be played on the piano. Lang Lang's playing here is very colourful, very pretty, full of musical ideas, of course. It maybe evokes a string ensemble, possibly a trio or a quartet. But a quartet that plays Bach romantically with vibrato and rubato.
"Romanticizing Bach" as Lang-Lang does is maybe a bit like re-painting a Picasso without the play on perspectives. You might still get a nice picture in the end, but you loose the elements which make the artwork so fascinating and unique, and with that, the essence of the work.
George L the question it's not romantic intepretation, the question it's that there is no sound...
no "appoggiato", no "soppesato", only 3 timbers of touch a real disaster, just to give an idea listen to this
ruclips.net/video/aEkXet4WX_c/видео.html
thanks for your comments.
I know very well what the "established" interpretation is in terms of Bach's works on the piano. What I wanted to express is that since the piano was not Bach's instrument we do not know what his point of view would be or the way he would play his works on the piano. Today most executors play these works "in a safety zone" but on the other hand we are in the 21st century. why not give space to a different interpretation that may not be as the friend said above with his example with the Picasso painting, yes it may not be exactly the same result, it is nice nonetheless for me personally gives a new breath to the work. Also Glenn Gould recorded Chopin and Mozart sonatas, is this way of interpretation original? I like that there is a pluralism of ideas, aesthetics and imagination, that is my point of view, this is the beauty of art.
It's all a question of what you consider a "modern" interpretation. To me this kind of over-romanticizing is typical of Baroque interpretations from the 50s and 60s, so in that regard I consider it more like an out-dated view than a modern 21st century (re-)reading. From time to time I listen to for instance Klemperer's Matthäus Passion. It's a very impressive monumental reading, highly dramatic, very dark. But it's a distorted interpretation. The thing is, in those times, musicians had the excuse not to be "historically informed". Now this excuse is not acceptable anymore.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for experimenting in classical music because that's the best way for it to live. I'm less disturbed by Bach played on synthesizers or as a jazz arrangement, as I am with this hybrid, distorted kind of playing. It sounds to me like making the music convey a message it inherently isn't able to convey. Emotions in Baroque music are very subtle and most of the time you don't need to add a lot to make it speak, otherwise it sounds very artificial to me, like an over-processed picture. That's just my opinion and my taste, and I mean, if people enjoy Lang Lang's recording, why not, good for them. But I'll stay with my Derzhavina and Schiff recordings.
I think we should count ourselves lucky that musicians who actually create original music would not care so much. Otherwise we would still be banging bone against stone and singing Songhai we did not lose the essence or feel of the music.
These conversations whilst sort of interesting are about as useful as a bucket with holes in it.

If you listen this piece played by many interpretes then you will have to agree that Lang Lang is leaning on Glen Goulds interpretation with slower pace but same type of emotional touch. Great interpretation but yet I like more Glenn Gould who knows to balance better the quiet calm retained parts with the emotionally more emphasized ones.
@@e.s.2777 I’m currently learning/practicing this piece and use Gould’s 1981 version as my goal to work towards., as I prefer Gould’s slower pace (by the way I listened to the version in this clip at 0.75x speed and liked it better than at x1).
Can you suggest other pieces (by Bach or otherwise) that you would consider similar to Bach’s Goldberg Variations Aria da capo? Thank you.

Something horrible
Mi versión favorita. Sin duda. Tengo la sensación que Lang “envuelve” cada nota una especie de cápsula del tiempo y las va soltando.
Stunning and masterful, as always. I find it odd how people act like Lang Lang’s interpretation somehow damages the original score, like he is painting over the Mona Lisa. I understand how some may not care for his take on this iconic work, but if you don’t like it, go listen to someone else. Most of the criticism I read here seems to imply that Lang Lang is doing something wrong. He is among the greatest living pianists, if not the greatest. He doesn’t need the approval of RUclips trolls.

Lang Lang’s playing always affects my mood so much
100%
Fantastic timing...as though he is deliberately holding back ... makes the Listener anticipate and want more. And I am Canadian and so of "The Gould Fan-Club", as well.
Who do you think is better ? I have to say Gould’s Bach still speaks more volume to me but I’m not professional or even a trained musician , simply just like Bach.
I prefer measured trills vs fast trills and added trills/turns... and feels we should play this wonderful lovely work the way Bach would have played it. Focus should be on the Bach aria not on the performer ... but that's Lang Lang.
Personally, I still prefer Gould's 1982 or Zhu Xiao-mei more.
A nice try though.
The recording is very different than this. I thought the same, until I heard Lang Lang's latest GB variations recording.
Sorry, but I do not like this at all. This is too much and too dull. there is nothing.
Lang Lang remains a musical miracle. He's got the divine spark!
Some would prefer a dry and emotionless rendition of Bach in the name of agreeing with the musical period but this recording for now is the best revelation of the beauty in Bach to mortal men.
This interpretation perfectly describes the reason for this composition.
Exactly, what’s the point of making a mimic version of someone’s famous 1981 recording and no one can say how Bach intended his score to sound if he had a Steinway.
Agree. If one plays Bach on a Steinway he or she should imagine what Bach would’ve done with that Steinway !!!
Agreeing with the musical period doesn't mean playing in a dry and emotionless way at all. Playing in the "Baroque style" can be as expressive as this overly romantic, completely ouf of context approach... if not more. And no, playing this on a piano is not a valuable excuse for distorting the music in such a way.

Yes. Glenn Gould is the God of Goldberg’s Variations by all mentions. However, having this miracle album coming out this year of 2020 brings quite some thoughts about the inevitable changes that the world is going through right now.
There is really no way any musician could “inevitably” compare Lang Lang’s “interpretation” with Gould’s performances. What is the MATTER with you people? Lang Lang is almost literally mauling Bach’s music. Appalling.
@@quaver1239 Our matter is appreciating great music performed by a very talented musician. Now it's your time to get lost, racist.
@@quaver1239 , you got my like. Yes, Bach would scratch his head and say Lang Lang is lost.
I think both Lang Lang and Gould’s versions are peaking on their own styles - Lang Lang’s is sentimental, emotional, which is game changing in a sense to show Bach can be interpreted in a romantic way, while Gould stands for the rationality and the pure beauty of mathematics and nature.
