Variation as revelation, not repetition.
Bach built the Goldberg Variations from a single, unassuming aria, spinning out thirty transformations of astonishing range: canons, dances, fughettas, hand-crossing toccatas. They’re works of precision, imagination, freedom, and structure.
And yet, for all that structure, the Goldbergs remain open: open to interpretation, to reinvention, to individual sensibility. Jean Rondeau brings to this music the same qualities that define his work across the repertoire: intellectual clarity, stylistic fluency, and a rare ability to make long-standing traditions feel immediate and alive.
