JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH (1685-1750)

Goldberg Variations BWV 988

Arrangement for chamber orchestra by Józef Koffler (1896-1944)

JEWISH

What is Jewish about a world-famous piano work by one of the best-known Christian composers? Nothing except the orchestral arrangement, whose genesis reflects a Jewish fate of the 20th century in exemplary fashion: the Jewish-Polish composer Józef Koffler was at the beginning of a great career that was abruptly interrupted by the rise of National Socialism. Under the threatening circumstances of his life, he fell silent as a composer and in the last years of his life only devoted himself to arranging the works of others.

TODAY

Bach’s music is timeless and familiar to many. While researching a major Koffler memorial project, Daniel Grossmann discovered the orchestral version of the Goldberg Variations. With its complete performance for the 100th anniversary of the Munich Bach Festival, we are bringing Bach’s music to life in a new way.

FOR EVERYONE

A concert for curious Bach connoisseurs or interested Bach newcomers. For friends of piano music or orchestra fans. For those who have the famous Glenn Gould recording in their ears. Or for JCOM fans who are surprised by a purely orchestral concert. Let us surprise you!
