Today Daniel Barenboim is internationally recognized and revered as an orchestral and operatic conductor, pianist, and a musical ambassador and also as a humanitarian.

It's an orchestral approach...Within these clear aesthetic parameters, the performance can be savoured as a technically assured and convincing examination of a rich sound world.” MusicWeb International, November 2012 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | Bach, J S: Goldberg Variations, BWV988
The Goldberg Variations, which was printed in 1741 as 'Clavierübung IV. Teil' was later named after Bach's 14-year-old pupil, Johann Gottlieb Goldberg. Evgenij Koroliov was even younger when he discovered Bach - he heard Glenn Gould in Moscow in 1957 and was influenced by the legendary Russian pianists Maria Judina and Sviatoslav Richter. In the 1960s and '70s he won important piano competitions ranging from the Van Cliburn to the Grand Prix Clara Haskil. In cooperation with the Bachfest Leipzig, EuroArts was able to convince the reclusive pianist - who is still only known in specialist circles - to produce this recording of an exiting recital in summer 2008. "… but if I am allowed only one musical work on my desert island, then I should choose Koroliov's Bach, because forsaken, starving and dying of thirst, I would listen to it right up to my last breath." György Ligeti “…Koroliov… uses the full resources of his magnificent Steinway, and the spontaneity with which he moves from the lightest of touches to grand sonorities is one of the many fascinating aspects of this riveting performance.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2009 **** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

“Arthaus gives us her two performances of Bach's Goldberg Variations, recorded in different locations by the greatly gifted Andrea Bacchetti… the overall impact of both these performances - for me… is so majestic and profound that it would be churlish to deny it greatness. In fact the recital is revelatory.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2008 ***** “Great pictures and sound as the pianist goes his own singing way in Bach… in a sensitively photographed and beautifully engineered DVD performance.” Gramophone Magazine, April 2008 “Andrea Bacchetti….[plays with] great interest and interpretative strength… the emotional participation is always controlled and dedicated…Bacchetti [is] an accurate observer, a sharp reader of the most secluded emotions.” Piano Time | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
