The discography pages of J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations BWV 988 on the BCW have been revised & updated. The discography is arranged chronologically by recording date. Currently there are 707 different recordings of the complete (or near complete) work. In the previous version of this discography from 3 years ago there were 563. All the releases of each recording are presented as one entry. Because the number of recordings is so big, I had to split the discography pages from 2000 onward to a page for every 5 years.
In order to make this discography as comprehensive as possible, I have compiled info from every possible source I could find, including web recording databases, web-stores, YouTube, SoundCloud, IMSLP, other Goldberg discographies, and more.
The discography pages are inter-linked. You can start, for example, in the most recent page (2015-2019): http://www.bach-cantatas.com/NVD/BWV988-Rec2015.htm
and go backward to the page of previous 5 years (2010-2014).
With over 700 recordings, the Goldberg Variations is definitely the most recorded work among Bach’s solo keyboard works. However, the discography includes not only recordings on keyboard instruments (harpsichord, clavichord, piano, organ, etc.) but also many arrangements for various combinations of instruments.
If you have any correction, addition or completion of missing details, please inform me.
Enjoy, |
