Who needs another recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations? After all, there have been so many great recordings of the work already – Landowska, Kempff, Gould, Pinnock, and Leonhardt, to name a few – that surely no one needs another recording of the Goldberg. Actually, everyone needs another recording of the Goldbergs provided that it's a recording of a great performance. There's too much in the Goldberg – too much brilliance, too much sorrow, too much humor, too much spirituality – for any one performance, even the best performance, to contain all of it. So long as the performance honors the work's honesty, integrity, and virtuosity, there's always room for another Goldberg on the shelf. This 2001 recording by Andras Schiff belongs on any shelf of great Goldbergs. Schiff has everything it takes – the virtuosity; the integrity; and most importantly, the emotional, intellectual, and spiritual honesty – to turn in a great Goldberg. Indeed, Schiff has already done so in his 1982 Decca recording of the work, a lucid and pellucid performance of tremendous beauty and depth. But as good as the 1982 recording was, the 2001 recording is better. It preserves the great qualities of the earlier recording and adds greater depths, and what's even better, higher heights. Schiff seems to have gone further into the work and returned with greater insights and even greater beauty of tone. Part of this is due to ECM's stunningly clear and immediate recording, but more of it is due to Schiff's maturity as a performer. In 1982, he was not yet 30, and for all his brilliance as a pianist, he was still too young for the Goldberg. But at almost 50, Schiff has grown in wisdom and his performance now rivals the greatest performances of the past.

Review by James Leonard, Allmusic.com

Whatever your likes or dislikes in the Goldbergs, Schiff will surely elicit a positive reaction, more so than with his 1982 Decca recording, which, though similarly felicitous, had little of the daring, imagination and scale of this live remake. After Perahia’s probing intellect, Hewitt’s sense of fantasy and Tureck’s sepulchral gravitas, Schiff is the master colourist who, like Gould in his later Sony recording, achieves impressive continuity between variations. Contrasts, too, and never more so than in the sequence of variations Nos 20-22, taking us from brilliantly realised syncopations, to a glowering canon in sevenths, then dipping suddenly for the intimate stile antico of the four-part Variation 22. As for overall style, repeats are often embellished, sometimes radically varied. He has an occasional tendency to spread chords (Var 15), obviously loves to dance (the irresistibly lilting Var 18), relishes an elegant turn of phrase (Var 13) and has a keen ear for Bach’s wit (the tripping exuberance of Var 23). This is a fascinating, beautiful, deeply pondered and profoundly pianistic account. While not ‘authentic’ in the scholarly sense, it’s appreciative of Baroque manners and ornamentation. It’s also beautifully recorded on a mellow, finely tuned Steinway.
