Essential Classics by Bach's Goldberg Variations

Musicmonday Musik place in the 21 Century has new distribution channels and, in addition to numerous uncontested risks and new opportunities, if you use them for white and finds its audience. In my "free and very good" article series, I've already pointed out several alternative sales concepts, which all have in common is that the music in the form of a download for free (or at least without mandatory costs) finds its way to the listener. They are therefore only a limited extent as a substitute for commercial distribution of music. This limits their opportunity, but not always a significant loss of quality.
Crowd funding, i.e. collecting money for a specific project before the actual implementation is a method by which more and more unusual productions are realized outside the mainstream. The idea sounds exciting: It calculates its budget for the project and then collects the money from big-spending fans who receive not only the end product, but a few extras (to be on the bonus track to the private living room concert everything offered, depending on the size the donation, of course). If the financial needs once met by donations, you can implement without great economic risk his idea. If you have calculated correctly, then you can pay musicians, technicians, and possibly the CD pressing plant and minimizes the risk of a financial fiasco due to lack of sales. What sounds like a little realistic concept has, quite successful: For example, the largest crowd funding platform Kickstarter pumped no less than 36 million U.S. dollars (28.5 million euros) in the last 4 years in musical projects, including at least after all, accounted for $ 1.5 million on projects with classical music (which account for only 4% of projects).
JS Bach: Goldberg Variations - TitelseiteSo has seen it's no wonder that the Open Goldberg's project was a great success. Obviously there was plenty of donors who were willing to participate with a donation to the public domain edition (sheet music and recording) of the legendary Goldberg Variations by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). The financial success of the project but says nothing about the artistic value of consumption by Kimiko Ishizaka. Gave free shots of the Goldbergs on the net before: A fairly decent recording of Jeremy was thinking I imagined at this point already, a now copyright free version (public domain), the legendary 1945s recording of the Goldberg Variations pioneer Wanda Landowska there are also free here at archive.org). There are other examples that I may want to introduce in the coming weeks and months here (you can never have enough Goldbergs have, n'est-ce pas?). In addition, many would even the legendary 1955 recording of Glenn Gould, have standing in the closet (or even the often underrated 1981's new recording). At Goldberg Variations was not really lacking in the music world.
Kimiko is IshizakaIm case of this recording by Kimiko Ishizaka it is not only a free but also a very artistically successful recordings. Who knows, only the version of Glenn Gould, who will be surprised once in this recording: Kimiko Ishizaka generally takes significantly more time than Gould. While Gould wanted to represent the contrapuntal structure as a whole (and, with all due respect, even his playful mannerisms), it emphasizes the subtle ramifications canonically constructed within individual sentences. Her playing is clean and does not even in the fast passages hasty. Overall, one gets the impression that she has put great care into each individual variation. I would even go so far as to call it in an original recording (in terms of historical performance practice): Although she was on a modern concert grand (and not on a harpsichord), avoids modernisms Kimiko Ishizaka and interpretive liberties.
To put it in a nutshell: I do not think you should know the Goldberg Variations in only one version. The work is fascinating, too complex to know only the ultimate version - but Kimiko Ishizaka artistically recording can compete with the best recordings to modern concert grand. And, given the large number of recordings a plus point: While digging deep into their pockets for other recordings must obtain a valid here, first class for free admission, with a free license. And anyone who has interest in, the same can also still the notes and / or the iPad app for free to do so.
The sound recording is simply amazing the way, and goes far beyond the level that we know of free shots usually the contrary, the clear, clean and warm sound of the recording can compete with so many commercial recording. Since there's gold in the Open lossless audio formats (FLAC, WAV), one has to fear no audiophile sound degradation through audio compression.
Conclusion: Kimiko Ishizaka recording is not only free, it is also an artistically sophisticated, excellent unconverted recording of the Goldberg Variations. Of course, there is strong competition in the commercial sector, including and especially on the piano (the two recordings by Glenn Gould from 1955 to 1981, I've mentioned before, the shots of Angela Hewitt (2000) and Andras Schiff (2003) are also welcome as reference images called), but this free public domain recording is a very good starting point to enter into the wonderful world of the Goldberg Variations. Who's Goldberg Variations, in a way or other recording does / should have, yet do not let this excellent, thorough recording missed.

"I see the public a sign that says 'Madrid'. Thanks, but I know what city I am. " Based on eyeliner, Brian Molko has built an image of dark type that nothing further from reality: in exchange for a little more carefree pose, its aura of mystery disappears when dealing with the public. Or at least we had that feeling yesterday, actually, Madrid. After passing through Paris, Rome, Zurich and Hamburg, Placebo landed in the capital as a coda to a mini-tour that, through the initiative of Mercedes Benz (ai, marks, they will end up saving the music), has led to the stage as a band sound of the new car of the German company.
"Hi, hello brother, hello assholes: we Pla-ce-bo".

The mythical and beautiful room of Madrid, to almost full capacity, prepared from mid-afternoon over beer and catering of Do piglet? to meet the group. And after twenty electrical and dubsteperos minute video presentation of the product (the car of Mercedes), Placebo came on stage to review their great songs.
They had many years without coming to the capital. "God! ¿Placebo? I saw it coming but when I tried to draw or "lamented more than a fan when the band would be recalled that last night around here. A pity, because they fulfilled. Although an event of such features always lack the magic of that in which the capacity has gone and only paid for itself and only to see his group, hour and a half long concert showed that it need not be so cold: between 17 tracks of the setlist, fell expected Ashtray Heart ("mai senisero, senisero mai"), Special Needs, Every You Every Me, Battle for the Sun or chanted The Bitter End, which exalt the Joy finished. At the time, other equally unwanted hits as Song to Say Goodbye, and for the encore (encores and everything!) Post Blue, Infra Red and Taste in Men.
In closing, greeting the public theater Stefan Olsdal (bass guitar), Molko (vocals, guitar) and drummer Steve Forrest young surrounded by the rest of the team (violinist and keyboardist), which topped the sound of a night of luxury.
