Today, Ottawa-based pianist David Jalbert joins the Goldberg fray in a performance so clear-headed, so meticulously balanced, that it deserves as much attention as either of Gould’s recordings. To put it simply, Jalbert does not edit the music before it reaches our ears. Rather, he chooses his tempo and dynamics, then presents all the voices equally with both hands, granting our ears the freedom to freely explore something new with each variation. This achievement grows more impressive the more carefully you listen.
