Goldberg Variations (Live - 1979) Main Performer or Conductor: Karl Richter Instrumentation: Harpsichord Individual Works: Goldberg Variations BWV 988 Format: Compact Disc Record Label: TDK Catalog Number: TDK-OC003 Year Released/Recorded: 1979 Comments: Michael Siegel said: Live concert of Goldberg Variations from Japan (CD only available from Japan). Karl Richter at age 53, suffering from physical health problems during this Japanese tour, makes some mistakes, but he uses them to improvise his way through some of the variations. Very interesting to hear, even though not KR's best performance.
