Göteborgs Konserthus Bugge’s Bach

Event has already taken place

The spirit of Johann Sebastian Bach is in the wings, with a supposed smile on his lips. When the ensemble performs its interpretation of his famous Goldberg Variations in new arrangements by Terje Tønnesen, the musicians move seamlessly between original movements and improvisation. As Bugge Wesseltoft says; ’The important thing is to let inspiration develop, to work towards finding a unique means of personal expression.’ Bach would have liked it.

Please enjoy Bugge Wesseltoft’s magic hands in this film from Risør Chamber Music Festival:

And here is the original Bach piece in Glenn Gould’s famous recoding from 1956:
