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","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46987248271581,"sku":"3700187675660","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4134501-2904996.jpg?v=1762932440","url":"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/products\/bach-j-s-du-tianqi-goldberg-variations","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
