Concentus Moraviae: Jean Rondeau

Ode to Silence In the first of his two solo evenings, the resident artist of the 30th edition of the festival will offer Bach’s Goldberg Variations in their original harpsichord form. “The Goldberg Variations are all Bach, and I will definitely devote my whole life to them,” says Rondeau, who studied them using the original edition containing Bach’s own markings and corrections. In his harpsichord recital, Rondeau will perform the set of variations in their complete form, with indicated repetitions and thoughtfully inserted moments of silence.
