Customer Reviews

A new venue for a old masterpiece

Goldberg variation is one of Bach's towering works. This new version transcribed for a string trio is a novel approach to a time honored piece. The performance is great in the sense of "gold means". That is to say, the group takes a medium, balanced way between lean sound of Baroque method and over dramatized, excessive vibratos found on many recordings. If you admire Bach's work, this variation (played on string trio instead of a harpsichord of piano) from Goldberg variaton will surely bring you a lot of joy and musing.

Fresh take on one of my favorites

Well, how many versions of Goldberg does one need? One more, apparently. I'm sympathetic with the reviewer who suggested going back to the Gould, but must one stop there? Avoid the monotony of a knee-jerk Goldbergian monoculture! And although Gould is the default rendering, there are others on piano as well who deserve to be heard. Here, however, is the warmth and companionship of a string trio applied to this durable composition masterpiece. A wonderful interpretation and I recommend it.

Good, but check out...

The Sitkovetsky Transcription with the NES Chamber orchestra is by far better than this sometimes shaky trio version, in my opinion. Check it out- unfortunately, it isn't on iTunes but worth the hunt for it!
