  • Description

    Following on from her two previous succesful FHR albums of J.S. Bach, Papastefanou has now recorded one of the most iconic works in the history of music, the Goldberg Variations. Although a challenging work, this inventive
    masterpiece once again feels completely natural under Papastefanou fingers and surely be a recording to be revered, like her previous Bach recordings for FHR.

    Papastefanou, Greece's leading pianist, is now regarded worldwide as a leading exponent of Bach on the piano. Her previous recording for FHR (The Well-Tempered Clavier, 2018 [FHR65], did incredibly well with the music press and critics (MusicWeb International RECORDING OF THE MONTH
    The Union of Greek Theatre and Music Critics Award: BEST RECORDING OF 2018, 5 stars from BBC Music Magazine).

    Also Available :
    FHR070 Bach French Suites
    FHR065 Bach: The Well-Tempered Clavier

    CRITICAL ACCLAIM

    "From the outset, Alexandra Papastefanou takes a nuanced view, both poised and elegant… Papastefanou's ornamentation is considered throughout and she maintains a strong sense of structure in each variation while respecting their individual place in the work as a whole... her well recorded performance is certainly recommendable" (PERFORMANCE **** RECORDING **** BBC Music Magazine)

    "Papastefanou's Goldbergs radiate qualities of sheer joy and innate musicality that are better experienced than described. A captivating album." (Gramophone)
