Title: The Best of the Best Goldberg Variations
Review: Tatiana Nikolayeva -- who's Bach playing on the piano so impressed Shostakovitch that he was inspired to compose his own preludes and fugues, op. 87 and dedicate them to her -- surpasses many of the best recordings of the "Goldberg Variations," including those by Tureck (VAI)and Hewitt (Hyperion). Her "Art of Fugue" and "Musical Offering" -- also on Hyperion -- are also outstanding (Desert Island Disc category).
