A new album on GENUIN from the internationally performing pianist Sophia Weidemann! A prizewinner at numerous international competitions, she thrilled both critics and audiences with her album of works by Fanny Hensel. Now she follows up with a recording devoted to Bach: the program features the world-famous Goldberg Variations, which show off the phrasing and tonal artistry of this young pianist from Swabia to brilliant effect. She takes her listeners on an exciting and moving journey through the 30 variations – a work in which, for Bach, an entire world is contained. To quote the composer himself: “A most joyful delight for the soul!”

"Weidemann succeeds in combining a balanced dynamic that does not tend toward exaggeration with wonderful vocal transparency and a nuanced touch. […] A fresh approach that honestly puts the music in the foreground, yet is interpreted with enough individuality to give it a liveliness on the modern instrument that otherwise only great and well-known performers have often managed to achieve."
