The most perfomances of a particular composition
Posted by: HR on 13 March 2005
What musical piece do you own with numerous perfomances, and which version is your favorite?
I have J.S.Bach's Goldberg Variations played by: * Glenn Gould (the 1955 & 1981 recordings)
* Andras Schiff (ECM)
* Ito Ema (MA Recordings)
* Dmitry Sitkovetsky's string arrangement
(Nonesuch)
I find myself listening mostly to the strings arrangement and to Ito Ema's recordings which are warm and articulate.

I wish I'd heard him live, sadly, like too many of my favourite artists, he died before I'd really discovered classical music

Todd, right there with you on his schubert. It's outstanding (and almost everything else is a disappointment), the D.960 is especially magical. I was given Uchida's set for Christmas, and while it wasn't bad, it wasn't too close (though her Mozart sonatas are excellent). May have to check out Annie Fischer.
