A beautiful, songful performance
30 Nov 2008
Format:Audio CD
Mr. 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 percussion instrument). But if you look at Bach from a different angle, you find another world. They're both right; enjoy them both!

MASTERFUL AND MESMERIZING: A GREAT GOLDBERG !
21 Jan 2006
Format:Audio CD
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 known in the music world for his total dedication, awesome technique, and fiendish attention to detail, sometimes striking fear into noisy audiences. His execution of these 32 variations on the harpsichord are fabulous renditions. His blazing technique is wonderful as he articulates each of the variations with aplomb, bordering on sangfroid.
My favorite 'Pieces De Resistance' are the 'Vituoso' pieces of 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26, and 29, plus the 'quodlibet', the 31st variation. In this case, these variation parts exceed the Aria themes in my opinion, perhaps as they should. Bravo, Keith Jarrett. Five HUGE Stars.
(Note: Legend says Bach was paid with a golden goblet full of coins for this alleged 'commissioned' Baroque masterwork written for Goldberg. If so, it wasn't enough. LOL)

Superb: an exquisite interpretation of a great master
28 Oct 2005
Format:Audio CD
Keith 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!
