The Goldberg Variations by Johann Sebastian Bach are among the most iconic works in music history.
An aria and thirty masterfully constructed variations combine Bach's contrapuntal sophistication with an extraordinary expressive variety. With Igor Levit and Markus Becker, two award-winning pianists present the version for two pianos by Josef Gabriel Rheinberger, arranged by Max Reger.
