Thibaut Garcia is one of the most acclaimed classical guitarists of his generation, praised for his playing that combines virtuosity and poetic sensitivity.

Born from a deep artistic friendship with guitarist Antoine Morinère, this album offers a fresh take on Bach’s masterpiece Goldberg Variations, now reimagined for two guitars.

The arrangement, from Garcia and Morinière themselves, is the result of a full year of work during which, quoting the artists, they focused on “how to adapt the keyboard work for two guitars, while preserving the illusion of a single performer”.

Twin guitars helped in their artistic endeavor: the album is recorded on two guitars cut from the same tree, and realized especially for the project by luthier Hugo Cuvillier.

This creative process also includes a retreat to the Abbey of Solesmes, where Garcia and Morinière experienced, for a few days, the life of monks, with the aim of better understanding Bach’s spirituality.
