Due to the limitations of the 1337x torrent index I’m being forced to divide this insane project in four parts (1928-1996) - (1997-2008) - (2009-2016) - (2017-2024). In the aggregate, 582 lossless recordings of Bach’s Goldberg Variations. Flac/Ape in separate tracks, scans, score. Added a BBC episode of Building a Library, in which reviewer Nicholas Kenyon provides a personal recommendation. Enjoy!
