Comments: Michael Siegel said: Goldberg Variations: No repeats taken, medium sound quality, great interpretation though not as good as KR's later 1970 recording for DG. Partitas: In my opinion, the best recordings out there of these pieces. Again, no repeats. Sound is better than the Goldberg Variations since it was recorded 2 years later.
