“Thrilling and revealing, this is Bach playing of real stature.” —Gramophone
Bach's remarkable Goldberg Variations is often regarded as the most ambitious composition ever written for harpsichord. In his first solo tour of the United States, master of historical keyboards Richard Egarr offers the opportunity to hear the piece on the instrument for which it was originally composed. A frequent collaborator with violinist and early music scholar Andrew Manze, Egarr gives revelatory performances as a soloist, chamber musician, and conductor which consistently thrill audiences worldwide.
