Booklet of the CD
... can be read here.
After the "Art of the Fugue"-CD was on the market, several pianists discussed with Walter Riemer what would be a possible successor after this climax, and unanimously proposed the "Goldberg-Variations".
Maybe you are familiar with some piano recordings of this work and you are interested in hearing and comparing a performance on a fortepiano of the build Mozart used and liked very much. The Goldberg-CD was recorded in 2007 and is available in our web shop.
At our web shop you can listen to or download selected movements of all CDs. With the exception of "The Art of the Fugue" (the rights of this CD lie with the publisher ORF) you can also download any tracks for a small fee in MP3 format.
