Fazil Say, Klavier

‘Approaching a musical work is a lifelong journey,’ says Fazıl Say. And that is why the Turkish pianist's exploration of Bach's Goldberg Variations is far from over after his acclaimed recording, which he released in 2022. He set the bar high for this ‘musical and mathematical masterpiece’ back then - and the ambition remains: ‘My interpretation should convey the unique song, dance and story of each individual part of the work.’ Fazıl Say took on the task comparatively late in his musical career and felt up to the Goldberg Variations thanks to his enormous wealth of experience. Incidentally, this valuable wealth of experience also includes Say's own compositional activity. The pianist will give a small insight into this facet of his artistic work in the concert with his own works.
