With all respect for the artist and his commitment to the classical music of Handel and Bach to Shostakovich: This well-established on the harpsichord Goldberg Variations are a disappointment! Jarrett may want to let the music speak for itself, but his passive attitude does not help just by listening to this magnum opus to the listener. Already after 10 minutes I lose interest in the rest of the great variation in itself is work that each artist is but all options on an exciting play. The sound quality is outstanding, the harpsichord sounds warm and full. The tasteful, minimalist design booklet is from the usual class. For Jarrett fans who want to have everything all of their idol, it remains a worthwhile purchase. For classical music fans, who may seek an alternative to the recordings of Glenn Gould, I regret to advise violently!
