 No Gould October 20, 2007

I have listened to Glenn Gould perform these variations with mastery for such a long time, I admit that a bias is there. Mr. Jarrett has done a wonderful job performing, but he has not elevated to Gould's level. Sorry to Keity Jarrett fans, but he's no Glenn Gould.
 MASTERFUL AND MESMERIZING: A GREAT GOLDBERG ! January 21, 2006

Five "Clavier-ed" Stars!! Bach's Goldberg variations, the last of the Clavieruebung series, are part of his very ambitious and large masterwork of Baroque music dedicated solely to the harpsichord and are almost the only example of variations ever composed by Bach. Notice how the Arias (Number 1 and 32) bookend the thirty variations between them, achieving musical balance and reiteration. And how the Canons are repeated in intervals of 3 until Number 27.
Mr Jarrett is a musician well known in the music world for his total dedication, awesome technique, and fiendish attention to detail, sometimes striking fear into noisy audiences. His execution of these 32 variations on the harpsichord are fabulous renditions. His blazing technique is wonderful as he articulates each of the variations with aplomb, bordering on sangfroid.
My favorite 'Pieces De Resistance' are the 'Vituoso' pieces of 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26, and 29, plus the 'quodlibet', the 31st variation. In this case, these variation parts exceed the Aria themes in my opinion, perhaps as they should. Bravo, Keith Jarrett. Five HUGE Stars.
(Note: Legend says Bach was paid with a golden goblet full of coins for this alleged 'commissioned' Baroque masterwork written for Goldberg. If so, it wasn't enough. LOL)

Without the singlest doubt, Wanda Landowska wouldn't allow mr. Jarrett even washing the dishes for her, let alone play her harpsichord.
Superb: an exquisite interpretation of a great master October 28, 2005

Keith Jarrett is incredibly gifted both as a painist and as a harpsichordist. That he chose the harpsichord for his rendition of the Golberg Variations suggests that he found it capable of rendering a closer approximation of his ideal interpretation of these works. Hearing it is indeed a great joy!
Exquisite & sublime. July 12, 2004

Keith Jarrett plays his harpsichord as if posessed by Bach's ghost, but I suspect Mr. Jarrett's musical talents might have even surpassed the old Master himself. My absolute favorite recording of the GV's - and I own quite a few. I can't recommend this CD more highly.
