J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations are a timeless masterpiece that has captivated audiences for centuries. The variations are a series of twelve pieces written in the style of a fugue and were originally composed as an exercise to improve Bach's technical skills on the harpsichord. The Nonesuch CD+DVD release is a must-have for any classical music lover. The audio quality is exceptional, with each note ringing out clear and true. The DVD includes a documentary about the making of the album, as well as interviews with pianist Garrick Ohlsson, who performs the variations on this recording. The Audio Only Version is also an excellent choice for those who prefer to listen without visual distractions. This version offers the same high-quality audio as the CD+DVD release and allows listeners to fully immerse themselves in the music. Each variation has its own unique character, with some of my favorites being Variation 22: Alla breve, Variation 25, Variation 12: Canon on the fourth, Variation 7, Variation 10: Fughetta, and Variation 29. These variations showcase Bach's incredible technical skill and musicality, as well as his ability to create beautiful melodies that are both complex and elegant. Overall, J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations are a must-listen for anyone who appreciates classical music. The Nonesuch CD+DVD release is an excellent choice for those who want to experience the music in its entirety, while the Audio Only Version offers a more intimate listening experience.
