As part of the Vancouver Recital Society\u2019s fall programming, both pianist Sir Andr\u00e1s Schiff (above), and harpsichordist Jean Rondeau will perform J.S. Bach\u2019s Goldberg Variations.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Vancouver Recital Society\u2019s season opened last month with the Canadian debut of Italian pianist Filippo Gorini. It continues Oct. 16 with Steven Isserlis (cello) and Connie Shih (piano), and Oct. 18 and 20 with pianist Sir Andr\u00e1s Schiff.<\/p>\n

Rounding out the fall program, Turkish cellist Jamal Aliyev makes his Canadian debut with Turkish pianist Fazil Say on Oct. 30, Jean Rondeau (harpsichord) plays on Nov. 6, and American violinist Randall Goosby and Chinese pianist Zhu Wang perform together on Nov. 27.<\/p>\n

Sir Andr\u00e1s was scheduled to fly to Vancouver in March 2020 to help VRS celebrate its 40th anniversary. Instead, he was detained in Japan as the world went into lockdown due to COVID-19. His Oct. 18, 7:30 p.m., performance at the Vancouver Playhouse will be special \u2013 Sir Andr\u00e1s will announce and discuss what he is going to play from the stage. On Oct. 20, 7:30 p.m., at the Orpheum Theatre, he will perform the Goldberg Variations. Originally written for harpsichord, J.S. Bach\u2019s Goldberg Variations were first published in 1741 and are named after Johann Gottlieb Goldberg, who may have been the first performer of the work.<\/p>\n

Sir Andr\u00e1s\u2019s Oct. 20 performance is a benefit concert. It will help the VRS set the stage for its next big milestone \u2013 its 50th anniversary season in 2030. In addition to the Variations, Sir Andr\u00e1s will play Bach\u2019s Italian Concerto in F major and Bach\u2019s Overture in French Style in B minor.<\/p>\n

Rondeau also will perform the Goldberg Variations \u2013 his Nov. 6, 3 p.m., concert, will take place at Congregation Beth Israel.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn ode to silence\u201d is how Rondeau has described the Variations. \u201cI feel they were written for silence, in the sense that they take the place of silence,\u201d he says. \u201cAll Bach is there in the Goldberg Variations \u2026 all music is there \u2026 and I will no doubt spend my life working on them.\u201d<\/p>\n
