Programme Note
‘Dear Goldberg’, a young virtuosic keyboard player, had to spend his nights playing Bach’s soothing variations for the insomniac Count Kaiserling over and over again. This timeless classic is so colourful and moving that we can’t resist hearing it once again in Handel’s Music Room. Presented by the Keyboard Charitable Trust in collaboration with the British Harpsichord Society, Jean Rondeau breathes new life into this much-loved work.
