Info for J.S. Bach: Goldberg Variations, BWV 988

Born from a deep friendship between Thibaut Garcia and Antoine Morinière, this album combines virtuosity and poetic sensibility to offer a fresh perspective on J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations. The arrangement, designed to adapt the keyboard work for two guitars while maintaining the illusion of a single artist, was conceived by Thibaut Garcia and Antoine Morinière themselves. This album is the fruit of a creative process in which the artists were fully engaged; from two twin guitars carved from the same wood, to a retreat at the Abbey of Solesmes aimed at deepening their understanding of Bach's spirituality.
