 Rating:  - A beautiful, songful performanceMr. Nalbandian claims that Keith Jarrett is "No Gould". How true!, and how wonderful. I'm a big admirer of the Gould interpretations, but the wonderful thing about Bach is how the music transcends interpretation. Gould gives us startling, percussive performances (on a percussions instrument). But if you look at Bach from a different angle, you find another world. They're both right; enjoy them both! Rating:  - No GouldI have listened to Glenn Gould perform these variations with mastery for such a long time, I admit that a bias is there. Mr. Jarrett has done a wonderful job performing, but he has not elevated to Gould's level. Sorry to Keity Jarrett fans, but he's no Glenn Gould. Rating: - MASTERFUL AND MESMERIZING: A GREAT GOLDBERG !Five "Clavier-ed" Stars!! Bach's Goldberg variations, the last of the Clavierübung series, are part of his very ambitious and large masterwork of Baroque music dedicated solely to the harpsichord and are almost the only example of variations ever composed by Bach. Notice how the Arias (Number 1 and 32) bookend the thirty variations between them, achieving musical balance and reiteration. And how the Canons are repeated in intervals of 3 until Number 27. Mr Jarrett is a musician well ... Read More Rating:  - SpeechlessWithout the singlest doubt, Wanda Landowska wouldn't allow mr. Jarrett even washing the dishes for her, let alone play her harpsichord. Rating: - Superb: an exquisite interpretation of a great masterKeith Jarrett is incredibly gifted both as a painist and as a harpsichordist. That he chose the harpsichord for his rendition of the Golberg Variations suggests that he found it capable of rendering a closer approximation of his ideal interpretation of these works. Hearing it is indeed a great joy! Browse for similar items by category:
