Nathaniel Mander with the harpsichord used for his recording of Bach's Goldberg VariationsJohann Sebastian Bach: Goldberg Variations; Nathaniel Mander; ICSM RecordsJohann Sebastian Bach, transcribed Jorge Jimenez: Goldberg Variations; Jorge Jimenez; Pan ClassicsTwo very different approaches to Bach's iconic variations, with a harpsichordist taking an admirably direct and musical approach, and a violinist channelling Bach's own writing for solo violinThere is something of a mystery at the heart of Bach's Goldberg Variations.
