Prominent Australian keyboard performer Elizabeth Anderson tops the highest peak in musical terms for harpsichordists - Bach's 'Goldberg Variations'. Taking an energetic 93 minutes to perform, it is regarded as the pinnacle of keyboard compositions - a test of both performance ability and endurance.
Anderson has been giving sold-out performance of Bach's 'Goldberg Variations' since her first performance of it over 10 years ago.
Press quotes:
“I sat spellbound through the whole thing”
— Bradley Lonard, ABC 24 Hours
“Her performance is one of sustained excellence: thoughtful, witty and admirably dextrous...(Anderson) has delivered what the Goldberg's title page promised: 'refreshment of the spirit'”
