“Bach’s Goldberg Variations were written over 270 years ago, but
since that time top quality public domain scores and recordings
have been all but impossible to find. The Open Goldberg Variations
project will change this, thanks to the generous funding made
possible by Kickstarter.com, by creating the first open source
version of the score. The project will spotlight award-winning
pianist Kimiko Ishizaka, who will perform the variations in a top
German sound studio to produce a definitive contemporary recording
of the highest professional standard”
