IVO JANSSEN (PIANO)
It is the same with the Goldberg Variations as with the St Matthew Passion. As soon as the first bars sound you feel immersed in a soothing bath.
With his compelling musicality, Ivo Janssen is able to update Bach’s variation cycle in an unprecedented way. Ivo Janssen proves that Ten Holt is not merely a composer of repeating signs, but that he does play intelligently with patterns and structures. “With the enormous variation in timbre, dynamics and intensity that he displays, he knows how to make an event, within the permitted margins, where demonia and poetry go hand in hand.”
