I recently heard an interview with Simone Dinnerstein about learning Bach's Goldberg Variations.
I wish I could find the clip I heard--it is nowhere to be found--because in it she explains how at the time she was pregnant and wanted to learn the most meaningful piece to her--and one that would be good for her baby to be listening to...
I found this interview by Serena Altschul <----remember her??? Her recording is just gorgeous. I also heard her play a transcription of the Chaconne, which I loved the most.
I read about her album in Das Orchester, the German Orchestral Association (DOV)'s monthly magazine, and was struck by it, but forgot about it until I read your blog post. I had no idea that the album itself has such a story behind it. xo
