I've done a bunch of searches and can't find a link to Charles Rosen's performance of the Goldberg Variations on SACD. Can anyone confirm or deny if this SACD exists? If it does exist, can anyone point to a webpage describing the recording?
Thanks,
- Sam

Looks this SACD do not exist or is not in this Site databank. I do not know this Charles Rosen's Vars performance, but personaly I feel the Goldberg Vars do not fit well for a piano performance, the Goldberg partiture are suited for a organ performance, not a piano one. And the only Goldberg organ performance I like is the Gunther Rost on Oehms Classics OC-636 Bach: Goldberg Variations - Gunther Rost This is a new arrangement, with a fast tempo, with only 44m54s, not the long, slow performance 74minutes. This is the only Goldberg performance I can listen to the end, this new fast tempo arrangement turned the Goldberg Vars on a piece of easy listening music, a hit, you can listen the samples on JPC or Amazon links. Regards,

Were you possibly thinking of Glenn Gould? Both recorded for Columbia/Sony, of course.

Hmm, looks like samboy deleted that sentence from Wikipedia.
Anyway, he's no longer interested in this thread. Read his user profile ...
