Tatiana Nikolayeva - JS Bach: Goldberg Variations - Moscow Recording 1970

Even more than a quarter of a century after her death, Tatiana Nikolayeva (1924-1993) remains a legend among Soviet-era pianists. Even though she had a stupendous pianistic technique that allowed her to master even the most demanding works brilliantly, it was ultimately her interpretations of Bach, including the present recording of the Goldberg Variations from 1970, that made her world famous.
