 On May 11th, 2022, Duo Aliada performed J.S.Bach’s Goldberg Variations at the Casino Baumgarten in Vienna, Austria.The aim of the duo Aliada is to juxtapose two neglected classical instruments such as the accordion and the saxophone in a duo formation and to use the "almost infinite possibilities in terms of timbre and dynamic range". Bogdan Laketic (Serbia) and Michal Knot (Poland) won 1st prize at the Fidelio competition in Vienna in 2013, which was the start of their international career with international festival performances and CD recordings. The "Goldberg Variations" belong to J.S. Bach's most important large-scale works for a keyboard instrument. The theme, which artistically undergoes 30 modifications, is an "Aria" in triple time of the Sarabande, which already appears in Anna Magdalena Bach's music book from 1725. In the arrangement for accordion and saxophone, the Aliada duo, aware of Bach's affinity for arranging his own works, continue this tradition while shedding a new light on this masterpiece by presenting the "Goldberg Variations" with a dimension of timbre and expressiveness, which can only be achieved with saxophone and accordion. |
