One of my favourite interpretations of the Goldberg Variations.
Maestro Schiff makes it sound natural and playful, but also emphasizes the less noticeable voices at just the right moment to make a gorgeous performance. 👇

Context
For this work we have to thank the instigation of the former Russian ambassador to the electoral court of Saxony, Count Kaiserling, who often stopped in Leipzig and brought there with him the aforementioned Goldberg, in order to have him given musical instruction by Bach.
