There used to be a problem with the Goldberg Variations: to observe the repeats was impossible on a single LP and to do so, as Karl Richter did, resulted in two woefully underused ones. On CD (or today's LPs) omissions are a matter for the performer's choice and are not enforced. There is a kind of logic in playing only those in variations where first- and second-time bars differ, but Jarrett also plays them in Vars. 2, 21, 29 and 30, where this does not apply. We return, however, to the point LS made in reviewing Pinnock's Archiv Produktion set: did Bach intend to lull the Count to sleep, or to make his insomnia rewarding? Jarrett appears to favour the former conclusion. Like Pinnock he plays the Aria very slowly and (unlike Pinnock) this is consistent with his approach to the work as a whole; only the advent of the 96minute CD could permit him to respect every repeat! The quick variations lack elan and the slowest are stiffened by the absence of expressive rubato, even when the tempos are well judged, as some are. A slow tempo helps to draw the teeth of the mordents in the bass in bars 5-6 in the second half of Var. 5; the buff-stopping of the lower manual diminishes the overall effect of the anguished harmonies in Var. 25 and the persistent splitting of the chords develops into an irritant. After Jarrett's excellent piano recording of Book 1 of the Well-tempered Clavier this is disappointing: his readiness to add ornaments (not only in repeats) and the fleet-footedness of the later variations suggest that he does not lack technical facility; rather his approach may be too "solemnly portentous" (as LS put it); what is lacking is a satisfying view of the overall balance and variety of the work, a large entity rather than an assemblage of individual items such as the Well-tempered Clavier.
