Hmmm - as you say Lance, an interesting experiment ..... Bach's music is so often interpreted in different styles. I can remember liking the Jacques Loussier Play Bach albums when I was an impressionable 15 year old .....
Yes Patti, I almost started smoking cigars after Loussier's version of Air on a G String was used in the Hamlet advert!
Well, Carsten Dahls version of Goldberg is a fake! He simply picked up the midi files from Open Goldberg - and he never would be able to survive playing even one of the variations...check the michinegun thrills...actually one of the biggest not yet discovered classical music recording scandals i modern time!
I wish you'd been more open rather than using the anonymous button. More credibility with a name. If you care to email me privately, and confidentially, I'd be interested to hear from you.
Here is Carsten Dahl. That is some acusement Mr. Anonymous pukes on the floor. I actually recorded them normally on a straight Hindsberg grandpiano before doing the prepared one. I DID NOT use open Goldberg but used to technical options. One is recording the voices in layers - another was moving the tempo here and there. Its today possible to use the studio advanteges since we live in new modern times. I could send you the piano version if you like. Since I was a drummer before playing the piano - I am very stricked and precise with the thrills and maybe my savant autism also plays a part in the Interpretation. Since you are an anonymous chicken - its not possible to answer you with more depth. You can e mail me : carstendahlmusic@gmail.com. Carsten.
Om kritikken af mine Goldberg Variationer et sted på nettet, hvor en narrøv anklager mig for at bruge midifiler - ja, så ved jeg lige præcis hvem det er. Ikke engang hans navn bør nævnes. Så ligegyldig en pianist er han. En svigermors drøm med pomadehår. En stikker under krigen. En glat og nybarberet duksedreng som lusker rundt i musiklivet med en klud om halsen. Ja. Jeg ved hvem du er og jeg forstår din jalousi. Det bør ikke være muligt at jeg findes - men det gør jeg. Gå tilbage til din støvede ligegyldige verden og lad genierne gøre arbejdet. Narrøv !
