The Goldberg Variations of J.S. Bach were presented as an artistic installation and a hybrid live performance. History is reinterpreted around the composition of this repertoire landmark, whose myth is historically questionable. According to the imaginary, Bach was commissioned to write a composition for Count von Keyserlingk’s insomnia, to be performed by his protégé, the virtuoso cembalist Johann Gottlieb Goldberg.

Francesco Tristano interpreted the 20-minute piece on the piano only once, and it then resonates in the memory of the instrument, no longer with the pianist present, as if only the structure of dreams remained, which are built with 7000 recycled crystals.

Following the latest restrictions to cultural activity announced in Catalonia, Barcelona’s Gran Teatre del Liceu is preparing an exceptional, unique and global action on the coming 24 November called “a day of rehearsals and a night of reflection”, which will consist of broadcasting its entire activity by streaming.

Once the rehearsals have ended, the Liceu will continue with an exceptional activity in the main auditorium, an action of reflection which appeals to our conscience: the performance of the work Vexations by Erik Satie from 20:00 to 08:00 by Francesco Tristano.
