Stefano Bollani - Piano Variations on Jesus Christ Superstar

When he was 14, Stefano Bollani saw the movie of Jesus Christ Superstar, immediately bought the album that had launched the epic rock-opera in 1970, and fell helplessly in love with Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s story. He learns all the words of the texts, but does not dare, at the time, to play its music. 50 years on from the rock opera’s first recording , Bollani has decided to create his own version of Andrew LIoyd Webber & Tim Rice’s masterpiece, with the approval of the English composer.

“Piano Variations on Jesus Christ Superstar” is a heartfelt piano tribute: “I chose the piano only because the love story is between the rock opera and me”, explains Bollani. “And a love story is more beautiful if it remains intimate.” It’s not a complete transcription for solo piano. Stefano Bollani, grateful for the exceptional permission received by Andrew LIoyd Webber to reinterpret his work, approached the masterpiece by improvising on the original motifs and songs following his playful flicker and his musical spirit, formed from the many musical traditions, from the many genres and encounters that have influenced, forged and consolidated what is considered his musical language.

To pay homage and to make his music convey the warmth and depth of the wonderfully strong characters of the film by Lloyd Webber & Rice, Bollani decided to have the piano tuned to 432 Hz, an unusual choice that gives a warm, persuasive, deep but at the same time clear sound. Starting from the album, Stefano Bollani follows the plot of the story. Unlike what usually happens at his concerts, he respects the narrative structure as a fixed point from which to start improvising and fantastically elaborate the original work.
