Simone Dinnerstein performs J.S. Bach's "Goldberg Variations"
Friday, September 28, 8pm.
Lang Concert Hall
The recital follows the August 28 release of Ms. Dinnerstein’s much-anticipated recording of the Goldberg Variations on Telarc International. Ms. Dinnerstein describes her approach to Bach’s music as a current interpretation of a timeless work. “Bach’s Goldberg Variations is a piece with a profound sense of structure and organization, and yet the listener never experiences these elements as constraints,” she said. “It is as expressive as it is diverse. Each variation explores a distinctive mood, a particular sound world, and a unique shade of character and emotion.”

Hildegard Chamber Players Barbara Govatos - violin, Michal Schmidt - cello, Charles Abramovic - piano. Music by Amy Beach, Sylvia Glickman, Shulamit Ran and Heidi Jacob.
