This is a very, very appealing Goldberg performance. So many Goldbergs are out there, that how can you tell which to buy? Well, the "standard" & most highly recommended by far are the Gould performances. Sometimes, it seems that every Goldberg Variations performance is inevitably compared in some way or another to Gould's pivotal 1955 recording, which certainly deserves it's own special place in history. However, I simply can't accept that Gould was the only one who could understand this masterpiece ... Read More

Ekaterina embarks on a pleasant trip with this Goldberg set, and although one can hear quite a lot of 18th century inspriration, it is a well-executed record.

Like Wolfgang Rubsam's enlightening performance of Bach's English Suites (on Naxos), which completely opened my ears anew, Dershavina brings to the Goldberg Variations the same humanity, the same wistful, yet joyous, penetrating and seemingly improvisatory pianism. No other artist I've ever heard comes close to making the Goldbergs come alive like she does, and with not the slightest trace of self-consciousness, pretense, eccentricity or ego (which pretty much rules out most players in the field).

Ekaterina Dershavina plays the *Goldberg Variations* in the full sense of the term variations. For a performer rarely recorded (this may be her only recording), she performs this daunting work with ideas, and with varying styles. After a somewhat Romantically played Aria, Her first variation reminds us of Gould's 1981 recording. Aside from Gould's, her second variation is the only other recording I've found that expresses the jubilation inherent in the piece. Her fifth variation sounds like Chopin, replacing ... Read More
