More impact than the Chaconne? Jorge Jimenez has been fascinated by the music of Glenn Gould's "Golberg" ever since he heard it played by the violinist in 1996. As a violinist, he has been confronted with six unaccompanied works and decided to arrange one of the most complex keyboard works of the Baroque era for unaccompanied violin. It's like trying to fit all the furniture in the Palace of Versailles into a small room. You have to choose the best and try to preserve the atmosphere of a large room in a small room," says Jimenez. A big dream, realized through a thorough knowledge of the songs and all the possibilities of the instruments. The result is a truly challenging piece. Jorge Jimenez is the founder and conductor of the Spanish ensemble "Tercia Realidad," and is a gifted Spanish violinist who performs an exciting variety of styles of music, mainly ancient music, up to the 21st century.He has been concertmaster of such renowned old music ensembles as L'Arpeggiata, Hanover Band, La Risonanza, I Fagiolini, and Capella Cracoviensis, and has appeared regularly as music director and soloist at Shakespeare's Globe in London, performing Max Richter He has also appeared regularly at Shakespeare's Globe in London as music director and soloist, performing works such as Max Richter's "The Four Seasons".
