  • Goulds variation 20 is far superior

  • His use of pedal is just perfect!

  • Personally I think Gould is pretentious and not idiosyncratic... Perahia is the real God of the Goldbergs who plays with natural-sounding perfection. Nothing too outside the box, but probably how Bach intended the variations to be played, with absolute clarity and sheer pleasure.

  • Really nice

  • I like Gould better, but Perahia is second for me, with quite a distance from Gould, but he is the Goldberg master of the universe, of course ;-)

    It is lonely at the top.

  • * double post

  • Bach didn't give any indications for pedal, so it all just a matter of taste.

    You like it, I don't, there is no right or wrong here..

  • Masterfully understated playing. Elegant, delicate, intimate, yet incredibly brilliant.

  • Nice, but to much pedal for my taste
