This beloved masterpiece was composed through a period of personal tumult for Bach; two unsuccessful job applications, the premature death of his son Gottfried, and criticism of his music in a prominent Hamburg publication.\r\n\r\nBach’s outpouring of beauty in the \u003cem\u003eGoldberg Variations \u003c\/em\u003ehas long captured audience’s imaginations - Chad Kelly, Rachel Podger and her Brecon Baroque preserve the work’s exquisite intricacy while adding breadth, texture and color to its emotional backdrop.
