Johann Sebastian Bach: “Goldberg” Variations, BWV 988

Bach’s brilliant “Goldberg” Variations are a delightful fête for solo harpsichord. Considered the most important set of variations from the baroque era, this work is a grand journey of 30 variations based on a beautiful yet humble aria from Book II of the Clavierbüchlein fürAnna Magdalena Bach. Joseph Gascho, winner of the 2002 Jurow International Harpsichord Competition will perform the beloved masterwork.
