About this product
The Goldberg Variations, or - to use the original title - 'Aria with diverse variations' counts as a milestone in Western music history. With good reason the huge work and it's highly systematic structure demonstrate with utmost clarity Bach's immense skill as a composer. Books and treatises have been written to analyse how it is constructed, amazing both musicologists and mathematicians. But as the Danish accordionist Andreas Borregaard writes in his own liner notes to this disc 'the Goldberg Variations are so much more than a gigantic, sounding sudoku. Each variation is an expressive universe unto itself, and the music passes through almost every corner of the human spectrum of emotions.' Originally written for the harpsichord, the work has become part of the piano repertoire, but the emotional range that Borregaard emphasizes is perhaps brought out even more clearly when it is performed, as here, on the accordion. The inherent nostalgia of the Aria is more poignant than ever, the gigue in Variation 7 has the swagger of sailors on shore leave, and the introspection of Variation 15 is almost hypnotic.

David Juritz writes InchThe dilemma faced by any arranger of Bach is to stay true to the character of his music while knowing he would have been far bolder and more imaginative. For this version, I have attempted to remain within a sound-world that he would have found familiar. I did, however, have two factors on my side Bach's sublime and rigorous counterpoint and, in Craig Ogden, a virtuoso guitarist whose technical accomplishment is matched only by his Aussie ability to remain unruffled in the face of any challenge.Inch

2020 solo from the Electric Boys frontman. He's got an unmistakable and natural rock star swagger, yet at the same time he's a salt of the earth kind of guy. That's Conny Bloom, one of the most charismatic frontman in Swedish rock music. Musically and lyrically you could put him in the tradition of, say, Pugh Rogefeldt and Stefan Sundström, storytelling folk rock with traces of psychedelia, funk and 60s pop. As a songwriter, Conny Bloom moves between seriousness and humour. He has a unique way with words, he sings the way he talks and there's no reason to doubt him since that swagger of his means he always walk the talk.
