Fazıl Say spielt Bachs »Goldberg-Variationen«

For Fazıl Say, Bach’s Goldberg Variations are a lifelong journey of discovery. Bach’s subtle compositional craft unfurls – from a meditative, lyrical theme – 30 variations, each a unique character piece. “My interpretation is meant to convey the singular song, the dance, the story in each part of the work,” Say explains. As a composer, he bridges Western and Turkish music traditions, blending heritage and innovation. After the Goldberg Variations, we hear a selection of his own works.
