Rondeau Jean: Goldberg Variations (2x CD) - CD

Every harpsichordist and pianist tries to find his or her own interpretative way to Goldberg's Johann Sebastian Bach Variations, and many of them return to this seminal work several times in the course of their lives to discover something new in it each time, either for themselves or (ideally) for the listener. The talented French harpsichordist/piano player Jean Rondeau embarks on this imaginary musical adventure on his new double album, just released on the Erato label, and it is clear from the available samples that we are in for a remarkable and interpretively distinctive project.
