{"product_id":"bach-j-s-du-tianqi-goldberg-variations-cd","title":"Bach, J.S. \/ Du, Tianqi - Goldberg Variations [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor his first appearance under the naïve label, the Chinese pianist Tianqi Du majestically embraces a monument for keyboard, the Goldberg Variations. His pianistic interpretation of Bach's masterpiece affirms the principle of metamorphosis, always reinventing but never altering, emphasizing all the resources of the instrument. A compulsory piece for all keyboardists - and even other instrumentalists, if you count the many transcriptions they have undergone - the Goldberg Variations never sound the same. The voice rendered here by Tianqi Du - a young pianist taught and admired in his home country of China before studying with Meng-Chieh Liu at Boston's New England Conservatory and now with Nicolas Hodges - is that of a dear, benevolent friend who always stood close by while he was growing up: \"My encounter with the Goldberg Variations was like a musical compass that showed me the way,\" he confides. \"Bach has been a friend, a mentor and a savior in my hours of doubt and confusion.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3700187675660\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Naive\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.21.22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52202252730599,"sku":"695070","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.triathletestore.com\/en-au\/products\/bach-j-s-du-tianqi-goldberg-variations-cd","provider":"Triathlete Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
