Album Review: HANNU ALASAARELA Johann Sebastian Bach: Goldberg Variations

In an unexpected twist, Finnish accordionist Hannu Alasaarela takes on Johann Sebastian Bach's iconic Goldberg Variations in this album that is equal parts ambitious and charming. Known for his unique take on classical music, Alasaarela injects a sense of playfulness into this timeless composition, breathing new life into its intricate melodies with his accordion wizardry.

From the intricate counterpoint of the Aria to the joyfully nimble variations that follow, Alasaarela's interpretation is both reverent and refreshingly original. His accordion skills are on full display throughout the album, effortlessly navigating Bach's complex compositions with precision and grace.

But what really sets this album apart is Alasaarela's quirky personality shining through in each note. His playful tone and infectious energy make listening to the Goldberg Variations a genuinely fun experience, as if Bach himself had picked up the accordion and decided to have a jam session.

Overall, HANNU ALASAARELA Johann Sebastian Bach: Goldberg Variations is a delightful and unexpected take on a classical masterpiece. Alasaarela's expert musicianship combined with his quirky charm make for a truly memorable listening experience that will have you tapping your feet and grinning from ear to ear.
