JS Bach: Goldberg Variations
Jean Rondeau (harpsichord)
Rondeau describes the Goldbergs as 'an ode to silence', an assertion borne out by an
interpretation which includes a number of judicious pauses as well as all marked repeats; the
French harpsichordist consulted an original printed edition of the work (containing Bach’s own
markings and corrections) during his preparation for the recording, noting that 'through delving
into this precious musicological source, I was able to make what I felt to be the most authentic
choices'.

Jenkins: Four-Part Consorts
Phantasm
After enlisting the services of guests Mikko Perkola and Emilia Benjamin for their acclaimed
recordings of Jenkins's five- and six-part consorts (hailed by The Strad for their 'unanimous
articulation, rhythmic vitality and perfect balance' and by BBC Music Magazine for their 'fleet-
fingered dexterity') Phantasm turn their attention to the four-part works. Organist Daniel Hyde
(also Director of Music at King's College, Cambridge) joins for around half the programme,
supplying the original accompaniments on a seventeenth-century-style instrument.
