You can never have enough (good) versions of the Goldberg Variations.
That's weird. I was going compared the quality of the stream to my CD, but it doesn't show up when I search for it--only his two WTC volumes and his John Cage recording.

This CD arrived today. Not for the faint of heart or those with weak housing structures.

Hoppstock composes under the pseudonym Willcocks--very impressionistic and virtuoso pieces. Excellent sound (Qobuz 24/88.2)

The "Hammerklavier" today. He plays it so beautifully (yet not without its intense moments) and is extremely well recorded. This set is hard to find, so I was thrilled to see that Quboz has it!

No.28 and 32. I can see why the audience is so quiet: they were stunned into silence by the transcendental playing.

Thanks for sharing - I didn’t know about this collection and found it also on Tidal. Great recording!

Kind regards
