Bach: Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 - Diego Ares

In the thirty-two movements that make up the Goldberg Variations, Bach offers us a perfect equilibrium between structure, proportion, counterpoint and melody. Diego Ares, for whom this remarkable work has been a lifelong inspiration, sees the work as a journey - each variation explores different environments, enriching the listener at each destination - the last of which (the Quodlibet) marks the composer's salutary return home.
