J. S. Bach: Goldberg Variations

“Johann Sebastian Bach’s Goldberg Variations is an impressive example of the art of variation. Otherwise also known as Part Four of Bach’s Clavier-Übung ‘consisting of an Aria and Diverse Variations’ intended to ‘refresh the spirits of connoisseurs’. During the pandemic, the pianist Ragna Schirmer performed it for a small audience, mentally dedicating each variation to a different audience member. The result is a magnificent achievement that affords masterly proof of her passion for this work, a passion that has evolved over several decades.”
