Description

A true masterpiece inspires musicians to adopt, adapt, or transcribe it without losing any of its greatness. The four Baroque "cracks" from Nevermind, Anna Besson, Louis Creac'h, Robin Pharo, and Jean Rondeau have taken a creative look at Bach's famous Goldberg Variations and created their own stylistically sensitive "variations" of the work. As they themselves explain: "We only needed an informal rehearsal to realize the enormous potential of a transcription for our ensemble. There had already been other arrangements, but no one had dared to do this before, while our instruments are typical in J.S. Bach's chamber music. They appear both in his many solo sonatas for flute, violin, or viola da gamba with basso continuo and obbligato harpsichord, as well as frequently in the arias of his cantatas and passions."
