As a former student of the Hochschule für Musik Köln, German-Japanese pianist, Kimiko Ishizaka has received critical acclaim for her unique interpretation of the music of Bach and Chopin.
In 2012 her inventive recording of the Goldberg Variations—a project funded by her fans through Kickstarter.com—brought Ishizaka’s talents to a worldwide audience.
The Open Goldberg Variations have a simple, yet ambitious goal; to create a new, beautiful and exciting interpretation, precise to Bach’s instruction, yet full of personality and character, and give it a life of its own so that it will be enjoyed by audiences for decades to come.
To help make this recording truly timeless, we need your help. Share it. Give it away. Introduce others to its beauty, and explain to them why you love it. Make yourself responsible for converting another person to being a Bach fan.
Bach is beautiful, but not everybody has experienced the magic. This is music that soothes and inspires the soul; it is meant to be shared!
