Programme:
Bach’s Goldberg Variations
The young British conductor and harpsichordist Jack Gonzalez-Harding describes Johann Sebastian Bach’s Goldberg Variations as an ode to silence. Composed in 1741, nine years before the composer’s death, the variations demonstrate Bach’s unique ability to enable the harpsichord as a solo instrument to make music both of great triumphant joy as well as profound intimacy. The Goldberg Variations. Music of childlike sensitivity for you to simply dwell in as you please.
