Bach - Goldberg Variations

A chance to relive a very special late night Prom with the Grammy Award-winning pianist András Schiff, performing JS Bach's Goldberg Variations live at the Proms in 2015.

Recorded at the Royal Albert Hall, London

Bach: 'Goldberg' Variations, BWV 988

András Schiff, piano

Grammy Award-winning pianist Sir András Schiff is a titan of the keyboard, bringing his distinctive blend of clarity and authority to repertoire from Bach to Bartók. In this Prom he continues his long association with Bach's music in a performance of the composer's 'Goldberg' Variations - a monumental work composed, according to its title-page, 'for the refreshment of the spirits'. The resulting Aria and variations are a compositional wonder, a sequence of musical miniatures unequalled in all Bach's output.
