About the New Goldberg Variations Bach/Chindamo
"I've lived with Bach’s Goldberg Variations for decades. It's one of those touchstone pieces. Listening to Joe’s New Goldberg has made me hear the Bach as though it's new. Joe and Zoe have illuminated it in unexpected, marvellous ways. Suddenly, I have two new pieces in my life, both of which I've been playing constantly.
Joe’s piece is much more than a masterly tribute to a classic, though that alone is a remarkable feat. It's a world in itself, rich and complete. It brings out the best in Joe, Zoe and Johann Sebastian. I feel privileged and enlivened, listening in on this three-way conversation across the centuries." Genevieve Lacey world renowned recorder virtuoso |
" Joe Chindamo's The New Goldberg Variations brings the living essence of Bach's music into our lives with beauty and inspiration.
Joe has imbued his own compositional genius with the style, elegance and temperament of Bach's voice by bringing a new form to play with the marvel of The Goldberg Variations. There is a rare sensory relationship to Bach's violin music and to hear this insightful performance by Zoë Black, brings another dimension to this repertoire with a newly composed role for the violin. Joe and Zoë have an innate understanding of the musical language and rhetorical gestures, and together they perform the sprightly-defined figures and lyrical contours of the theme and 30 variations with passionate vigor and élan together with exceptional virtuosity."
