Jean Rondeau plays Bach's Goldberg Variations: Variation XV. Canone alla quinta in moto contrario

Jean Rondeau plays the 15th of Bach's Goldberg Variations, a canon of resounding depth and gravity. Discover his recording of the complete variations: https://w.lnk.to/jrgLY

"An ode to silence" is how the French harpsichordist has described this towering landmark of the solo keyboard repertoire. "I feel they were written for silence, in the sense that they take the place of silence." Bach is reputed to have written the variations to be played at night, by the harpsichordist Johann Gottlieb Goldberg, as comfort for the insomniac Russian ambassador to Dresden.
