Description  J.S. Bach Goldberg Variations by Chiara Massini © Copyright - Symphonia / Chiara Massini (8012783062221) J.S. Bach: Variazioni Goldberg SY 06222 Symphonia Chiara Massini, harpsichord http://www.chiaramassini.com/pagingl/press.html "The cover art, Bronzino's "Dama in Rosso", is a fitting visual analog for Chiara Massini's style of harpsichord playing. She streches and molds musical time in the same way that mannerist painters like Bronzino altered human proportions to elicit a novel perception in viewers. Her sense of timing has less to do with rubato than with an extreme, mannered Italianate mode of expression tied as much to gesture as t language. Her articulation, ornamentation, and holding of notes past their written value serve the music splendidly. I can say with confidence that had Bach had the chance to hear this performance he would have learned someting about his beloved variations that he did not already know. For its joyfulness, spontaneity, and inventiveness this release is given my highest recommendation. Katz, American Record Guide Sharing Widget |
