Andrei Gavrilov

Description:

The "Golteberg Variations" is said to have been composed by Golteberg, a clavier player in the service of a count who was a patron of Bach, to be played to console the count's insomnia. Consisting entirely of arias and 30 variations, it is a work that encapsulates the essence of the clavier technique of the time, including the variety of forms and advanced counterpoint compositional techniques. Gavrilov, a native of Russia and winner of the Tchaikovsky Competition at the age of 18, performs the entire work with great tenderness. Universal Music/IMS
