Simone Dinnerstein plays Bach's Goldberg Variations
Bach: Goldberg Variations. If you've ever questioned the value of owning different interpretations of the same musical work, just listen to this interpretations and compare it to that of Gould, or Landowsa, or anyone else. The artist, of course,...

I suppose that in some way..........
....that this piece shall always remind me of the scene in "Silence of the Lambs" where Dr. Lechter is listening to the Glenn Gould recording of it in his jail cell just before all hell breaks loose. Of course, many consider the Gould version...

Terrible sound quality
Avoid this CD. The sound quality is downright awful. It is so painful to listen to this disk that any thoughts of a "performance" have to laid aside.

Unnecessary
With so many great Goldberg Variations around, one can't help but wonder where the need for this album is. Don't get me wrong, it's not actually bad, but neither is it especially good. It's OK if you're a collector or are not that interested in...

Probably The Best Goldberg Variations
Somehow I think that Bach's Goldberg variations are inherently ear tiring music though undoubtedly beautiful. In this performance, they become more soothing, natural, therapeutic, elegant, so on. Overall, I like this performance more than Murray...

Gouldberg Variations gone bad
Fortunately for Dinnerstein, she looks nice and she got the attention of Oprah. My own preference is still for the hunched-over Gould in his sawed-off chair. Allow me, therefore, to venture a short, apocryphal comparison with the master.

The Goldberg Variations by a human being
Although it's hardly fair to compare anyone, let alone a pianist on her debut CD, to the titan Glenn Gould, one of the 20th century's greatest pianists, Dinnerstein has brought it upon herself by choosing Gould's signature piece as her first...

definitve interpretation
Nobody's audio library of Bach's music should be without this exquisite and skillful interpretation performed by Simone Dinnerstein on a old and restored Steinway. Her dynamics and execution are masterful and occasionally innovative, like the...

Disappointing
I bought it and was disappointed. Dinnerstein's "Goldberg" never came to life for me. It seemed slow, lethargic and dull. Obviously it's a matter of personal taste. And no, I don't like Gould's hyper approach with all of the extraneous...
