Music of the Baroque era – Bach keyboard concertos and Scarlatti sonatas – already features in the eclecticErato catalogue of the French pianist Alexandre Tharaud. Now he is giving us his interpretation of one of the monuments of the repertoire for piano (and harpsichord), Bach’sGoldberg Variations.

“Bach is the father of all composers,” Tharaud has said. “He is the one who opened the way. When I am tired, or not playing at my best, I return to Bach. He refocuses me, he gives me new strength. His music has a centre, but it has no end … To play Bach, you need to feel in harmony with yourself, to feel humble – Bach really is a matter of humility … You cannot hide anything.”
