“Crystal-clear counterpoint”, NRC said about Bach’s Goldberg Variations, performed by accordionist Vincent van Amsterdam. For the widely lauded musician himself, it felt equally like “juggling 32 balls”. Not an easy job, interpreting this harpsichord work, but what an honest musical quest of this accordion hero for the story behind the 32 parts of Bach’s legendary variation work!
