Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential recording:
Rosalyn Tureck's Goldbergs are brilliant but curious. Her phrasing is sometimes artificial, studied, and pedantic. Yet she can spin out the minor key variations with a liquid legato and noble flexibility that harkens back to the great Romantic players. Tureck has a brain in every finger, though, and a singular temperament that compels you to listen. This live 1982 recording is a case in point. --Jed Distler

Glenn Gould got all the publicity but if you want real Bach playing by an expert who devoted her life to it, try this recording of the Goldberg Variations. Tureck was not flashy or fussy -- no audible moaning and sighing here. She was the opposite of a prima donna. She served the music rather than making the music serve her. Of course, her technique was flawless and she plays with such quiet authority and color. I love this recording.

People who listen to the Goldberg Variations on piano must live in a parallel universe. Liquid legato? Three minutes of passion? There is no other set of variations of any era for any instrument more "structurally" conceived and unified than the Goldbergs! It's all or nothing, not a string of pearls. Please, please, listen to the harpsichord performances of Trevor Pinnock or Bob van Asperen before you spend money on another pianist's misconception. Ms Tureck's performance, by the way, is particularly ... Read More

Like several of the previous reviewers, I have collected numerous versions of the Goldberg Variation (including three of the Tureck performances), this being my favorite piece of music in the universe. To my mind, this live performance recorded in the 80's is without a doubt, the best ever Goldberg. Like all other Tureck performances, there is extraordinary authority, integrity, and a sense of inevitability. Unlike some of her earlier and later versions, there is also is this version tremendous spontaneity ... Read More

A gift for melodic expression and an unerring sense of rhythm make Tureck's the most satisfying of currently available Goldbergs. Not as intellectually pioneering as either of the Gould sets, this is nonetheless the most overtly beautiful of all, calling to mind Schiff at his most expressive in his superb survey of Bach's keyboard works.
Very strong competition from all the other famous sets, but this one has a little more heart and song. In any case, to reasonably appreciate any one set, comparison ... Read More

I agree with the previous reviewer: this recording contains about three minutes of musical bliss. The rest of it is self-conscious and belabored.
