Bach's monumental Goldberg Variations stand alone in the piano literature as a work of unique artistry and brilliance. Lang Lang first began exploring this masterpiece more than 20 years ago and presents this recording as the outcome of a long personal and emotional journey. Marking a new stage in Lang Lang's artistic development, it is the project of a lifetime. Alongside a studio recording is a contrasting performance, a single take from a recital in Leipzig's iconic St Thomas Church, where Bach worked and is now buried. The heart of this project is the deluxe edition - a unique offering with simultaneous studio and live recording. "This isn't just the most exceptional and creative work in the keyboard repertoire, it's also the most multidimensional," observed Lang Lang. "It allows us to draw on everything we have within ourselves, but also makes us realise what's missing and what we still have to learn."
