Introduction
An absolute masterpiece of harpsichord music, Bach's Goldberg Variations (1742) display their increasing virtuosity over a chaconne bass.
From the contemplative opening "Aria" to the mischievous "Variation 30", they strike a rare balance between meditative interiority and playful efflorescence.
Who better to reinvent them than Benjamin Alard, first prize winner of the 2004 Bruges International Harpsichord Competition? Also an organist, he has undertaken a complete recording of Bach's works for solo keyboards: an immersion in the long term, a guarantee of inner truth.
