Goldberg Trio Tokyo

Description:

There are many arrangements of J.S. Bach's famous Goltberg Variations, and Sitkovetski's version for string trio is considered to be the definitive version. We have played many performances based on this score, but I have always wanted to create a new arrangement that brings out the best of the string instruments from a different angle. I hope you will listen to this piece as a result of my pursuit of my ideal of approaching the essence of this masterpiece from a different perspective. (Mikio Unno)Mikio Unno has created a new string trio version of the original piece by facing the original squarely, and the three virtuoso players give a passionate performance in a sincere yet dynamic dialogue! ＜Asuka Se?
