Top pianist Evgeni Koroliov is known for his deeply emotional interpretations of Bach, and his performances of the “Goldberg Variations” stand out as extraordinary.
What makes Koroliov’s interpretations so striking is his ability to capture the balance between tension and relaxation, with carefully placed dynamics and tempo. His performances create a sense of enchanting intensity, allowing the listener to deeply contemplate Bach’s music.
Koroliov’s lifelong connection with Bach began very early; he was deeply inspired when he heard Glenn Gould in Moscow in 1957. These experiences have shaped his sole artistic expression as the undisputed orator of Bach’s music, and his performances at the same time reflect a respect for tradition and represent a testament to his unique artistic vision.
