»To record the Goldberg Variations was a life dream. I have been working on the work for more than 20 years, playing it as a 17-year-old Christoph Eschenbach and a few years later Nikolaus Harnoncourt. At that time I played on Harnoncourt's private harpsichord, including the Variations 13 and 25 and the Aria. We talked about the loneliness of being a musician and about musical mood. He said: »You play very beautifully, but it doesn't sound lonely enough. You don't rest enough in yourself.« He played a couple of passages to me - and it opened up a whole new dimension and access to Bach.« (Lang Lang to his recording)
