Average Rating:
 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.

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! Rating: - Exquisite & sublime.Keith Jarrett plays his harpsichord as if posessed by Bach's ghost, but I suspect Mr. Jarrett's musical talents might have even surpassed the old Master himself. My absolute favorite recording of the GV's - and I own quite a few. I can't recommend this CD more highly. |
