you did really well - excellent performance. One can see you really feel this aria all the way through. It is my favorite from Bach - sounds very different from his traditional style of music. To me Goldberg variations sound like western Tchaykovsy...very well executed! BRAVISIMO from Russia ()

...On the contrary, that piano is very lucky to have a chance to be played by you!

Keep in mind that the story of the count who couldn't fall asleep was related by Bach's first biographer, J. Forkel, and is today widely dismissed as unlikely. It's still an amusing tale, though; it certain helps to give the Goldberg Variations character.

You must re-record this sometime, the background noise is somewhat distracting haha. 5 stars

I find the added ornamentation doesn't impact the delicate nature of the melody at all, very nice.

I would not be surprised if this was written by a woman, it's so bloody gorgeous.

Bach was getting in touch with his inner-female, I guess!

Thankyou, most enjoyable! My wife and I get to the Pump Room periodically and we ALWAYS make a point of applauding the artists. Everyone then catches on, as you know. As you, no doubt, realise folks get carried away with their chatting,,often meeting old friends etc. BUT I am sure the vast majority take great pleasure in your playing and appreciate it. VERY best wishes to you and BRAVO!!
