5.0 out of 5 stars transcendent musical excellence Jan 25 2004
By C. Razzell
Format:Audio CD
Murray Perahia brings out much more than the mathematics of counterpoint and the acrobatics of execution. He brings out the soul of the music.

This performance combines amazing vituosity with a musical intelligence and spirituality which is very sensitive to where Bach himself was coming from. This recording is a unique musical treasure, bringing together Bach's compositional genius from circa 1741, with the best musicianship and recording technology available worldwide in the year 2000.

The superb audio quality on SACD brings out the full dynamics and texture of the pianoforte, especially important for Murray's approach to this music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perahia's Goldberg Variations - A New Standard Feb 10 2001
By Jason Solomonides - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Many listeners still hold Glenn Gould's breakthrough 1955 recording as the Goldberg standard, while others (like myself) marvel at his marvelously crisp 1981 digital recording, which helped spawn the fascination of classical music lovers with DDD-encoded CDs. With this 2000 recording, Murray Perahia has raised the bar. His musicality and attention to detail is astounding and his pianistic touch yields graceful lines and unparalleled phrasing... And the recording quality is out of this world, especially on SACD.. there is absolutely no "hiss"! This has now become my favorite recording of all time. I can't stop listening to it! No wonder he has been nominated for a Grammy! Buy this release... you'll be astounded... and addicted!

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional Jan 25 2002
By A. Egigian - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
A peerless conception and realization of Bach's Goldberg Variations. Perhaps the most telling aspect of listening to Perahia's recording for me is that when it is finished, I want to start again at the beginning. It is as if a "world" is contained in this piece, and I am reluctant to leave it.
SACD sound is everything you could want or imagine.
