Simone Dinnerstein has been described as “a throwback to such high priestesses of music as Wanda Landowska and Myra Hess” by Slate magazine and praised by TIME for her “arresting freshness and subtlety”.

The New York-based pianist gained an international following because of the remarkable success of her recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations which she herself raised the funds to record. Released in 2007, it ranked No.1 on the US Billboard Classical Chart in its first week of sales and was named in many ‘Best of 2007’ lists, including those of the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the New Yorker. Her follow-up album, The Berlin Concert, also gained the No.1 spot in the Chart.

After Simone’s collaborative travels with folk-singer Tift Merritt on the 2013 album ‘Night’, she reconnects with the foundation of her musical career and what she is best known for, with a solo album of J S Bach’s keyboard works. This album features beautiful, well-known music by one of the most popular composers of all time, performed by the pianist who made her name through her original interpretation of Bach.
