Our Take

It's a well-known fact that Johann Sebastian Bach's Goldberg Variations are the ultimate test of a pianist's skill and artistry. So when French pianist David Fray decided to take on this monumental piece, he was certainly setting himself up for a challenge.

Fray's interpretation of the work is nothing short of mesmerizing. His technical precision is second to none, navigating the intricate counterpoint of the variations with ease and grace. But what really sets this recording apart is Fray's deep emotional connection to the music.

From the gentle, introspective opening aria to the frenetic energy of the later variations, Fray's playing is imbued with an infectious sense of joy and wonder. He brings out the quirky and playful side of Bach's music, making the listener feel as though they are embarking on a wild and unpredictable journey through the composer's mind.

But it's not all fun and games. Fray also delves deep into the contemplative and introspective moments of the variations, bringing out the profound spiritual depth that lies at the heart of Bach's music.

In the end, David Fray's recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations is a triumph. It's a testament to his talent and musicianship, and a joyous celebration of one of the greatest works in the classical repertoire. Do yourself a favour and give it a listen. You won't regret it.
