Johann Sebastian Bach's famous ' Goldberg Variations ' pose many a puzzle for the listener: Originally published by Bach with marked modesty as a "Clavier-Übung," they are among the most technically challenging compositions for the harpsichord. For all their virtuosity, the work simultaneously unites architectural perfection with a whole cosmos of musical expression. With this masterpiece, as intimate as it is monumental, one of the most exciting Bach interpreters of our time celebrates his debut at the Brucknerhaus: Despite his young age, the Frenchman Jean Rondeau is already a world star of the harpsichord and, with his virtuosic and direct style of playing, is considered "one of the most natural performers on a classical music stage" ( Washington Post ).
