Dubin said: Sitkovetsky made this transcription of the Goldbergs around a decade before his much praised string orchestra version, but in my opinion this chamber performance is much better, and brings out the joy of the piece more effectively. Jan Hanford said: What a fabulous recording. The Goldberg Variations is one of those amazing works that translates beautifully to so many instruments. There are many transcriptions and this one is exceptional. I am particularly fond of chamber music and this extraordinary transcription and performance is a beautiful gem. Highly recommended!
