Jan Hanford (jsbach.org) wrote:
"The Goldberg Variations is one of those works that should be in everyone's Bach music collection. Their level of complexity is balanced by a musical intimacy that makes them universally enjoyable.
Everyone has recorded this work, it seems to be a measuring stick of every performer's abilities. Some are excellent; some fail. Trevor Pinnock, known mostly as conductor of the exquisite English Concert, performs here with fantastic energy, precision and charm.
Trevor Pinnock's special understanding of Bach's music is evident here and his performance is remarkable. Speed, clarity, sensitivity; all the components necessary in a great performance with no strange interpretive nuances getting in the way.
The recording itself is crystal clear ADD with the microphone appropriately close to the harpsichord. There is no ambient echo which is often distracting and, sometimes, annoying in harpsichord recordings. This recording is so perfect it sounds like Trevor Pinnock is in your living room performing for you."


Since the cover is copied from Amazon, I have also inserted copy of the sleeve of my old LP. The tracks come from CD (verified)!
