I was wondering how XXX sections could include the Aria twice and 30 variations, and found the mistake. After XVI, Variatio 15, the roman numbering drops back to XV instead of going on to XVII. Bach would have been annoyed. Worth correcting to complete the perfection of a wonderful performance of one of the greatest keyboard works of all time.

Such brilliance and soul. Only Glenn Gould’s second version of the Goldbergs has moved me to tears in the transition from the aria to the first variation. Now I have two. (Embarrassing for this tough old Irishman listening to this while his dear wife, a pianist in her youth, is sitting next to him.) Yes, there are many gifted pianist out there today (thank God), but somehow Yuan Sheng brought me to tears in that transition, and the mastery of the whole. Bravo maestro. And thank you.

Le monde sans frontières, celui qui permet à la musique (aux arts en général et du plus haut niveau), d'appartenir à tous, nous prouve que la beauté est accessible à tous les humains de cette Terre. Ecouter ce pianiste issu de la patrie de Confucius ,nous donner, avec son génie propre, à entendre un génie allemand impérissable. Voilà qui abat toutes les frontières tracées par l'Homme. Mais il s'agit d'Art au sommet, qui n'a jamais besoin d'armes. Les artistes authentiques sont les seuls exemples que les humains doués de coeur, de sensibilité, de générosité,( les autres également et si possible), doivent prendre pour modèle. La Beauté qui suscite l'Amour doit être notre unique guide. Artistes de toute la terre vous êtes nos sauveurs. Les seuls !!!

I first tuned in to this performance just to see how Yuan Sheng managed such a monumental masterpiece. I stayed ans listened to every note! No since Glenn Gould's early recording of this work have I been so mesmerized! Yes, Sheng takes a few liberties with the 'style' - BUT - I often felt I was hearing these variations for the first time. Such superb control of touch. A magnificent performance! Thank you so much for uploading it.

Please hear both together. I have been listening to Gould's interpretations while going to bed almost every day since 1992, if my memory is correct, and I used to switch off the music player while accidentally getting up in the middle of the night. Additional advantage, in the case of Gould, was I didn't have to adjust the volume control of the music player often.

You have to wonder. It's more than notes on a scale. And, there are only a few composers that truly embrace, our heart and soul. I have a theory...these men and women are Angels on loan; God's way of letting us know, we are His beloved children and each note is a tap on our shoulder, with God saying, Be Loving And Good To One Another.

The clarity of Prof Sheng's playing is beautiful and provides insight into some details that can otherwise be lost or blurred. The various voices are somehow so distinct even though they are on the same instrument. You almost get the sense that you can seethe layers being carefully weaved together. Amazing execution and technical proficiency--definitely a refreshing take on the variations.

Hello from Pennsylvania. Very nicely played and I like the crystal clear clarity of the recording. Of course, we all love the Glenn Gould rendition which we all grew up with. I feel that I am more intimately connected with Gould on his recording, maybe because at several points you can hear him gasp for breath. But in all ways this is a also fine recording of one of Bach’s masterpieces. Many Thanks!! CAS

No we don't ALL love the Gould recordings. I was lucky enough to "grow up" with Peter Serkin's recording. Gould came later, and in comparison, is fast, show-offy, a bragging speedster of a recording, and, compared to Serkin, almost unmusical. Serkin, Andras Schiff, Angela Hewitt, and others gives this towering masterpiece the interpretation it deserves. Wilhelm Kempff does not! And I'll pass on Lang Lang...
