Three instruments for Goldberg

Composed for harpsichord, Bach’s Goldberg Variations have endured through the centuries in many forms, revealing a new facet of their structure with each transcription.
In this arrangement for string trio, the thirty variations reveal a polyphony that the violin, viola, and cello share with a clarity and warmth unique to string instruments. Andrew Wan, Victor Fournelle-Blain, and Anna Burden bring together three complementary voices for one of the most celebrated works in the repertoire.
