Would agree Byegolly but if you are going to listen to the Goldberg variations you should really go for Glenn Gould, who literally made a career out of them. He's got one set of 1950's recordings, and another done in the 80's. They are available in the same boxed set. It's also a good introduction for the novitiate to be able to compare recordings of this master of the piano at different stages of his professional maturity.
