Acknowledged as one of the world’s leading Bach performers and scholars, John Butt is the perfect choice to perform this masterwork on harpsichord.

There’s a nice story that Bach’s 30 variations on a charming little ‘aria’ were composed to soothe the insomnia of the former Russian ambassador to the court of Saxony – but it almost certainly isn’t true! No-one, surely, would fall asleep during the unfolding brilliance of the Goldberg Variations, now regarded as one of the pinnacles of the keyboard repertoire and the supreme technical challenge for any harpsichordist.

Acknowledged as one of the world’s leading Bach performers and scholars, John Butt is the perfect choice to perform this masterwork on harpsichord.
