Rethinking BACH: The Goldberg Variations Reimagined for Solo Violin

Legend has it that Johann Sebastian Bach composed the Goldberg Variations to soothe the restless nights of Count Keyserlingk. Whether this tale is true or not, the hypnotic allure of the Goldberg Variations is undeniable. Now, Jorge Jiménez brings a fresh perspective to this masterpiece, reimagining it for solo violin.

The Goldberg Variations aren't just any theme-and-variations—they are the intricate creations of the "God of Harmony" himself, Johann Sebastian Bach. In this innovative adaptation, Jiménez has not merely arranged but completely reshaped these monumental works to suit the violin. Picture condensing the grandeur of Versailles into a cozy attic in Paris; it's about preserving the essence of something grand in a smaller, more intimate space.

While Bach's works often adapt well to various instruments, these variations present a unique challenge. Jiménez's arrangement dives deep into the complexities of the original, transforming them in the same spirit that many beloved pieces were during Bach's era, catering to the evolving needs of both performers and audiences.

This groundbreaking transcription of Bach’s Goldberg Variations marks the culmination of a two-year journey, with performances across Poland, Spain, and the UK, including a featured spot at the Festiwal Bachowski Swidnica in Poland. The project concludes with the first-ever recording of the Goldbergs in this extraordinary arrangement for solo violin.
