  • Bach's Goldberg Variations, originally written for harpsichord, take on a different dimension with Dmitry Sitkovetsky's renowned transcription for string trio, which features a refined timbre and polyphonic clarity.
  • The Belgian TrioFenix, with Shirly Laub, Tony Nys and Karel Steylaerts, brings a unity of sound, interpretation and expression forged over two decades of making music together.
  • All three are celebrated soloists and orchestral musicians with international careers, but they are also rooted in the Belgian musical tradition and closely connected to the country.
  • The Goldberg Variations rearranged for string trio, allowing you to hear Bach's intricate counterpoint lines and musical expression even better and more clearly.

In Dmitry Sitkovetsky’s transcription, Bach’s Goldberg Variations are revealed in a new light: a refined dialogue between violin, viola and cello, where each voice breathes and listens to the others. TrioFenix delivers a strikingly clear interpretation, combining architectural rigour, expressive freedom, and sonic poetry. Backed by nearly twenty years of musical complicity, these three chamber musicians breathe new life into one of the masterpieces of the Baroque repertoire, in a version that is as vibrant as it is intimate.
