Luxembourgish classical pianist Jean Muller has signed with German label hänssler classic, with whom he will be releasing a new album.

The first project between the talented Jean Muller and the record label hänssler classic, entitled Johann Sebastian Bach Goldberg Variations, is set to be released in September this year.

On the topic of Bach’s Goldberg Variations, Jean Muller stated how his interpretation of “one of the most paramount masterpieces ever written for the keyboard” differs to others before him. He commented: “my focus is neither based on historical interpretation dogmas, or on an intellectual, analytical deconstructivism. Instead I try to go back to Bach’s very own curiosity for everything musical and any advance in instrumental progress that makes music making even better.”

After performing the Goldberg Variations at the Moselmusikfestival in Germany, Muller will perform Bach’s masterpiece at the Piano Salon Christophori in Berlin on 15 October 2017.

More details on the album release will be available soon.
