In the first episode about the Goldberg Variations by Bach, we acquaint ourselves with the beautiful, serene variation 13 and the dazzling 14. You'll hear sections from different pianists, but also hear excerpts on the harpsichord string trio, before the hearing the variations back-to-back from the Music Post studio.

Here's the string trio referenced in the episode, here is Simone Dinnerstein's recording , and here is Glenn Gould's 1955 recording debut splash / immortal rendition
