From his first recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations in 1955 to his final recording, again of the Goldberg Variations in 1981, Gould recorded nearly all of Bach's keyboard music.             Brahms: Handel Variations, Op. 24 / Rhapsodies, Op. 79 / Piano Pieces, Opp. 118 & 119 Murray Perahia Sony Masterworks, 2010             Bach: Keyboard Concertos Nos. 3, 5, 6, 7 Johann Sebastian Bach, Murray Perahia, ... Sony Classical, 2002 Listening to Murray Perahia's second volume of Bach Keyboard Concertos is akin to viewing favorite paintings that have been restored with subtle care. The music's surface remains familiar to the casual ear, yet myriad details of phrasing, color, and dynamics are aligned and calibrated anew, helped by Sony's gorgeous, vibrant sonics. Notice the pinpointed unanimity of phrasing with which the pianist and chamber orchestra imbue the main theme in ...             Bach: Goldberg Variations Johann Sebastian Bach, Murray Perahia Sony, 2000 Listen to the music first! Perahia's booklet essay is a dry musicological treatise concerned with technical aspects of Bach's music. His performance, on the other hand, is filled with life and excitement. The kind of overt virtuosity heard in some of these variations has been a rarity in Perahia's recordings, but it shows how wide a range he intends to cover in his playing of this masterpiece. Unlike Glenn Gould, who is most listeners' ...             Mozart: Sonata for 2 Pianos in D Major, K. 448; Schubert: Fantasia for Piano, 4 Hands in F Minor, D 940 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Franz [Vienna] Schubert, ...

Pianistically speaking, there's much to admire: the unruffled sonority, pinpointed technique, and an ability to spin luminous textures through fingerwork and hand balances alone, eschewing the sustain pedal. Perahia's fluent left hand may not match the rhythmic resilience of Glenn Gould's, nor do his ornaments sing out with the improvisatory confidence András ...             Murray Perahia Plays Handel & Scarlatti George Frederick Handel, Domenico Scarlatti, ...

His easy mastery of the right-hand double-note challenges of Op. 10 No. 7 and Op. 25 Nos. 6 & 8 and the taxing rotary patterns of the famous "Black Key" and "Winter Wind" études enable him to clarify their significant left-hand component. ...             Bach: English Suites 1 3 & 6 Johann Sebastian Bach, Murray Perahia Sony, 2004             Schubert: Piano Sonatas, D958, 959, 960 Franz Schubert, Murray Perahia Sony, 2003 Perahia's up against some heavy competition from the likes of Arrau, Brendel, Pollini, as well as old-timers like Schnabel and Edwin Fischer. Even in such company he acquits himself well, playing with lean sonority that clearly etches Schubert's melodic lines and clarifies the structure of these sprawling works. In the B-flat Sonata he clearly differentiates the basic tempos of the first two movements, which can often blend into each other by ...             Mozart: The Piano Concertos [Box Set] Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Jeffrey Tate, ...

Sony, 1990 Murray Perahia's account of the Grieg Concerto is utterly absorbing. The playing is brilliant, but the pianist's approach--more Chopinesque than Lisztian--keeps that brilliance at the service of larger expressive goals. The result is a performance aglow with understated intensity, one in which the prevalent feeling is often melancholy, at times even bleak.
