Bach, J.S.- Goldberg Variations

The Goldberg Variations stand as one of the greatest keyboard works ever written. The work s universal musical language and distinct voicing has made it a popular subject for arrangement. Dmitry Sitkovetsky s trio arrangement was made in 1985 to celebrate the 300th anniversary of Bach s birth. It is dedicated to the memory of Glenn Gould, whose celebrated 1955 Columbia recording of the work introduced a whole generation of listeners to this extraordinary music. Sitkovetsky s arrangement produces fascinating and delightful results, especially in this vigorous and sensitive performance from the Leopold String Trio.
