Synopsis

Product Description
Charles Rosen did not perform the Goldberg Variations live, believing that it could not be played as Bach would have intended except in solitude and for personal pleasure. Fortunately that did not prevent him from making this 1969 recording, which The New Grove singled out as 'remarkable for its clarity, its vitality and its structural grasp.' The sentiment has been echoed by many other distinguished critics over the decade. This is a performance that seems to go to the very heart of the matter.
