Alexandre Tharaud: Bach - Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 | A Film by Stéphane Aubé

French Pianist Alexandre Tharaud is one of the few musicians with a strong interest in film (in 2012, he performed the soundtrack to "Amour" by Oscar-winning director Michael Haneke). For this visually stunning film by pianist and director Stéphane Aubé, Tharaud performs a version of Bach’s legendary "Goldberg Variations" in an intimate, beautifully photographed setting - constantly keeping viewers on their toes.

Le chef-d’œuvre de J.S. Bach dans une version envoûtante d'Alexandre Tharaud qu'on écoute avec recueillement. Sublime !

[@sendscho2260]

very nice shots compliments to the directors photographers

[@user-nn4bq6be5i]

Спасибо за запись, это целый мир пианиста и рояля полный любви и гармонии! Режиссёрская подача ракурсов видео, монтаж, звук, свет, тень, крупные планы погружают нас в атмосферу волшебства сотворенное Бахом в этих вариациях. Браво всём создателям этого шедевра!

[@joselourenco342]

Que requinte! Obrigado por nos mostrar tanta beleza.

Cuatro inteligencias superiores : El Demiurgo, El Virtuoso, El Realizador y El Director de la fotografía. Alexandre que maravilloso trabajo de orfebre ¡Impresionante! ¡Sublime!

Very enjoyable performance, so I won't debate or compare with others. The video presentation of the performance is, I think, commendable. Thanks for the post.

C’est un beau voyage dans l’âme du Steinway!

[@renaldtremblay8333]

Magnifique!

A great musician! Very, very fine interpretation. Thanks for posting.

Ademas agregría que es excelente pianista, los cantos son perfectos.

[@hectoremiliomaceiras7775]

Las variaciones Goldberg todos las conocemos; lo que es formidadable son las tomas de los martillos, una tarea con mucha inteligencia y buen gusto, es algo parecido como meterse en el alma de Bach!!!!!!!!! Gracias.-

[@joseluissanchezferrer1843]

Soberbio Tharaud, diferente a Glenn Gould pero también con una veta creativa excepcional. Lo que hace con Bach es sublime.

[@arielduranjaramillo7642]

Tal vez el más sublime momento de las variaciones Goldberg es la transición del Aria a la primera variación. Hay muchas maneras en las que los diferentes pianistas atacan este momento. Aquí es extraordinario, se le salta a uno el corazón

[@GuillermoPSKrebs]

Naaa, que belleza!

[@isabellenoufel9178]

Je suis tout à fait certaine qu'Alexandre Tharaud est croyant, je l'entends lorsqu'il joue ! Très beau témoignage d'amour et de foi !

[@NicholasApeitos-ky6gr]

Hi ! What was that marvelous piece in the beginning of the video before the Aria? 😊

[@Moshmorenko]

It's the start of variation 9.

[@NicholasApeitos-ky6gr]

@@Moshmorenko thanks 😊

[@isabellenoufel9178]

Je suis tout à fait certaine qu'Alexandre Tharaud est croyant lorsque je l'entends jouer cette si belle œuvre au piano ! Très beau témoignage d'amour et de foi !

I like the music but I don't feel the camera work is doing well. It seems that synchronisation is not perfect, and it's normal because the movie is composed with different cuts. I would have prefer an angle per movement.
