Lang Lang - Bach: Goldberg Variations, BWV 988: Variatio 30 Quodlibet. a 1 Clav.
  2:40

After 20 years of study, Lang Lang finally decided he was ready to record Bach’s renowned Goldberg Variations, the “Everest of the keyboard repertoire”. He played the Goldberg Variations live at the iconic St. Thomas Church in Leipzig in March 2020, shortly before recording the piece in a studio and later decided to also release the live version from St. Thomas Church along with the studio version. About this recital, Lang Lang remembers: “The atmosphere in the church was awe-inspiring, and what made it even more special was to sit and play the Goldberg Variationsso close to where Bach is buried. Towards the end of the 30th Variation, I had time to let my gaze wander and I looked over at his tomb. It was an unbelievably emotional moment. I’ve never felt as close to a composer as I did during that recital.“
