A few weeks after the release of pianist David Fray’s magnificent performance of Johann Sebastian Bach’s The Goldberg Variations, Jean Rondeau’s harpsichord versions were released on the same Erato label. Two proposals, two visions, two perspectives. Whilst David Fray takes his listeners on a long, emotional journey (which could even be classed as a sort of “Winterreise” before its time), Jean Rondeau instead takes inspiration from Scarlatti. The harpsichordist’s version of The Goldberg Variations almost feels like a response to the thirty Essercizi per gravicembalo (“exercises for the harpsichord”), a selection of thirty sonatas composed by the Italian and published in London in 1739. The Goldberg Variations were published in 1741 as the fourth part of the Clavier-Übung (a German term meaning “exercise[s] for the piano"), though the date of their initial composition may be earlier.
Less concerned with the structure of the ensemble as some of his colleagues, Jean Rondeau expands upon each variation, making each one sound completely different, yet still beautifully complete—just like a sonata by Domenico Scarlatti. The Frenchman isn’t the only one to offer such a proposal either, with Ignacio Prego (Glossa) also releasing his own version of The Goldberg Variations back in 2015. Jean Rondeau’s harpsichord is of unparalleled beauty, having been built by Jonte Knif & Arno Pelto and based on a German model. The incredible sound recording immerses the listener into the very heart of the instrument, a hypnotic experience which causes all concern for logic to fade away. Rondeau plays with rhythm, reinvents dance patterns and offers a stunning portrayal of each of the Veränderungen throughout this anthology which exposes Europe’s musical preferences during this era. You’ve likely never heard the Variation XIV like this before (not even Pierre Hantai’s (Mirara) version comes close), it’s so unrestricted and free. Moreover, the expressive scope of the minor variations is simply breath-taking (variation XXI. Canone alla settima). It’s impressive from every standpoint and never fails to intrigue. © Pierre-Yves Lascar/Qobuz
