¡J.S.Bach: Goldberg Variations
¡Wolfgang Rubsam
Description
[Machine Translation] Wolfgang Lupsum, an organist who studied with Helmut Walcha and Marie-Claire Alain and has made a vast amount of recordings, including two complete Bach collections, visited Japan in 2016 and charmed audiences with his specialty, Bach. The Goltberg Variations are his specialty, and on this album he performs them on the lute harpsichord (= lautenwerk). The lute harpsichord differs from a normal harpsichord in that it has gut strings instead of metal strings (the lute's body was originally fitted with a keyboard), and it is known that Bach was particularly fond of it because of its beautiful bass and deep sound. However, the instrument used at that time does not exist, and this recording uses an instrument restored by Keith Hill, the maker of the instrument. This performance sheds new light on Bach's masterpieces with its innovative tone. [Performed by Wolfgang Lupsum (lute harpsichord)
