Bach Ensemble Luzern: «Goldberg-Variationen – kammermusikalisch!»

Program:
Johann Sebastian Bach: Goldberg Variations BWV 988 "Aria with thirty changes"

Quartet of the Bach Ensemble Lucerne:

Naomi Lozano; viola
Gabriela Schüpfer, flute
René Camacaro, violoncello
Franz Schaffner; harpsichord

With the Goldberg Variations, the quartet of the Bach Ensemble Lucerne dares to tackle a giant of the keyboard literature, as they represent a highlight of the Baroque art of variation. Originally composed for a harpsichord with two manuals, a chamber music version can be heard here. Based on a transcription for string trio, the musicians of the quartet have developed this version. In this charming version, the solo harpsichord alternates with duo and trio in various instrumental combinations, as well as tutti movements with the whole quartet. The thirty variations are framed by the Aria, played on the harpsichord.
