Bach’s Goldberg Variations contain infinities. The Teyber String Trio finds their own, utterly individual path into one of music’s most enduring – and fascinating – masterworks.

A wager? A cure for insomnia? Or nothing less than a musical attempt to give order to the Cosmos? Myths and re-interpretations orbit around JS Bach’s Goldberg Variations, but the musical reality is even more fascinating: a simple, haunting melody unlocks a chain of 30 musical puzzles; brilliant, intricate and endlessly fascinating. It’s no wonder that musicians have been drawn to the Goldberg Variations for centuries – they’re bigger and more boundless than the imagination of any one musician. Today, the three virtuoso string players of The Teyber Trio come explore Dmitri Sitkovetsky’s classic version for string trio: a very personal adventure into music’s most beautiful mind.
