I was initially awakened to this piece by Glenn Gould's first recording many years ago on Columbia, which I still like. I was 17 at the time and started working on it right away, although I didn't play it in public until seven or eight years later. The Goldberg Variations are very special to me; I've actually been studying them now on and off for nearly two decades. And since my arrival in the U.S. five years ago I've been deeply involved with them. I've played them all over Europe, including the Moscow Conservatory, where this recording was made. This is probably the most demanding piece l've played in concert. To prepare, I have to put myself in a very special mental and physical state. To me, performing the 30 variations is a process of bringing together light that is reflected in 30 different ways. The piece at the beginning is a vast ocean; by the end the ocean has receded to a single drop of living water. --Vladimir Feltsman

Undoubtedly a happy surprise – and one of the most charming piano accounts I have heard in a long time. If repeat listening will prove to be as enjoyable as the first impression was good I can’t tell, but I know that I will listen to it repeatedly – and gladly – until I know...Feltsman’s touch is very deliberate, delicate, and of weightless elegance in the aria, though never ‘precious’. Very early on it becomes clear that Feltsman plays Bach more as if he were on a harpsichord than any pianist I have heard, but he doesn’t do it in the Gould way of trying to make the piano sound like the harpsichord it isn’t. No repeat is exactly as the first – there are always changes in registration, ornamentation, or voicing – sometimes all of them together. That can sound idiosyncratic, even here, but sufficient musical sensibility and taste prevent the playing from ever becoming a display of wayward vulgarity.
