J. S. Bach – Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 | Organ of Pembroke College, Cambridge | Scrolling Score

Johann Sebastian Bach – Goldberg Variations (BWV 988) performed on the organ of Pembroke College, Cambridge, with a synchronised scrolling score. This complete performance of Bach’s Goldberg Variations presents the work on the organ, offering a distinctive perspective on one of the central masterpieces of the keyboard repertoire. Although conceived for a two-manual harpsichord, the Goldberg Variations translate compellingly to the organ, where clarity of counterpoint, architectural breadth, and long-range harmonic pacing can be explored with particular depth. This interpretation seeks to preserve rhythmic vitality and contrapuntal transparency while allowing the organ’s sustained tone to illuminate Bach’s extraordinary structural design. The performance was recorded on the historic organ of Pembroke College Chapel, Cambridge, an instrument well suited to Bach’s contrapuntal writing, variation technique, and large-scale formal thinking. Published in 1741 as the fourth part of Bach’s Clavier-Übung, the Goldberg Variations consist of an opening Aria, thirty variations built over its bass line and harmonic structure, and a return of the Aria da capo. Every third variation is a canon, progressing by ascending intervals, and the cycle culminates in a Quodlibet before the final return of the Aria. A scrolling score is provided throughout to aid study and listening. The score follows the musical text closely and is synchronised precisely with the performance. Programme 00:07 I. Aria 04:25 II.
