Bach - Goldberg Variations you favourite


These variations have been my constant companion for the last sixty years and I have a few firm favourites spanning that time and more. I believe they are with Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations the consummate art of the western civilisation.
Could you please list which ones you listen to most.
My selection is Arrau , Gould 1955 , Schiff 1983 , Dershavina , Rana and Levit.

Actually, I like the Glen Gould Zenph re-performance of the 1955 version.  Zenph did such a great job, it a shame they went under.  It's interesting comparing Gould to the Ito Ema version.  Very different approaches to the same piece.
