Bach's Goldberg Variations

Bach's Goldberg Variations

As the legend goes, Bach's Goldberg Variations were written for an insomniac diplomat patron who desired music to help cheer him on lonely, sleepless nights. But the real legend is how Bach was able to produce, for an apparently throwaway occasion, one of the crowning masterpieces not only of the Baroque, but of all Western music. Here's a gathering of widely varied interpretations the music has inspired, from keyboard masters to arrangements for string orchestra, jazz trio, and even brass band.

Thanks to the Bach anniversary year, we've enjoyed a bonanza of interpretations of the master. One of the most honestly compelling — Murray Perahia's account of the Goldberg Variations — uniquely underscored the fundamental subtext behind all the celebration: the wondrous inexhaustibility of Bach's creative imagination. Perahia has come to a new understanding of Bach in the full prime of his career, and his first recording of this monument communicates the wealth of his insights with color, depth, and subtly charged poetry.
