A feature of Baroque counterpoint is that it allows composers to include many layers without compromising the underlying architecture. Thus a version of J.S. Bach’s legendary Goldberg Variations, in which the piano part remains unaltered but an extra violin line is added, can represent an exciting and daring venture consistent with the characteristics of the style. That such an undertaking requires great harmonic knowledge scarcely needs mentioning. It also requires a refined sense of melody. Happily, composer and pianist Joe Chindamo displays such sensitivity, as well as learning, in what is a successful addition to the Master’s great work. The playing throughout this music is of the highest quality. Ms. Black’s tone is rich, her sense of melodic line sure, and her rhythms powerful. Mr. Chindamo’s touch is liquid, his exposition cultured.
