Our Take

ROVATKAY LAJOS takes on the formidable task of tackling J.S. Bach's intricate and beloved Goldberg Variations with a mix of charm, wit, and virtuosity. From the very first notes, it's clear that Lajos is not one to shy away from a challenge, embracing the complexity of Bach's compositions with gusto.

The album kicks off with an energetic rendition of the "Aria," setting the stage for the rollercoaster of emotions to come. Lajos effortlessly navigates through the intricate counterpoint of the variations, showcasing his dexterity and technical prowess throughout.

What sets this interpretation apart is Lajos' playful and inventive approach to the music. He infuses each variation with his own unique personality, adding unexpected twists and turns that keep the listener on their toes. From the spirited "Variation 5" to the contemplative "Variation 25," Lajos displays a deep understanding of the emotional depth of Bach's music.

But it's not all serious business - Lajos injects plenty of humour and whimsy into his performance, ensuring that the Goldberg Variations never feel too weighty or ponderous. This is an album that manages to be both technically impressive and a joy to listen to, making it a must-have for any Bach enthusiast.ROVATKAY LAJOS J.S. Bach Goldberg-Variationen is a delightful and refreshing take on a classic masterpiece, proving that Bach is just as relevant and entertaining today as he was in the 18th century.
