Title Note

Perhaps no other piece of music offers such equal measures of entertainment, spirituality and food for the intellect as the 'Goldberg Variations' and it is much to Murray Perahia's credit that he seems to have given equal thought to all three. His substantial accompanying essay offers a stimulating take on the 'Goldberg's' labyrinthine formal scheme, an important consideration for the performer in that it helps define the goal and direction of a journey which has little in the way of marked road signs or speed limits.

Needless to say, having determined his course, Perahia has the hands to get there in style. This is one of the most pianistically elegant versions you will ever hear, fleet and clean, with dance rhythms delicately sprung and melodies songfully projected. It is also one of the longer versions, with repeats observed and ornaments, applied rather freely at times, added to the repeats. The recording is amazingly clear and present, so much so that one can hear an occasional click of a sleeve button on the keyboard, while noting that this pianist does not hum while playing Bach.
