J S Bach/Goldberg variations

Trio Zilliacus Persson Raitinen

Johann Sebastian Bach: Goldberg variations BWV 988 for string trio. One night in June 2001 at the Båstad Chamber Music Festival the Cecilia Zilliacus, Johanna Persson and Kati Raitinen trio performed the Goldberg variations transcribed for string trio by the Russian American violinist Dmitri Sitkovetsky. The audience was swept off its feet and many wanted a recording – and here it is!

Cecilia Zilliacus works internationally as a soloist and chamber musician. In 1997 she won the Soloist prize, she has two Grammies, the most recent one in 2003 for the Caprice CD featuring Béla Bartók’s violin sonata and Dohnányi’s violin sonata Op 21.

Johanna Persson is the principal violist for the Gothenberg Opera orchestra and also performs as a soloist. She is a member of Gageego. Kati Raitinen is a cellist in the Royal Opera orchestra in Stockholm and in Gävle Symphony Orchestra and is a member of the Avanti! Ensemble. She is very active as a chamber musician. The three as a trio have been performing regularly since 1999 at various chamber music festivals and are well known to the Swedish concert audience.
