New York City, NY: Warner Classics, 2017. First Edition. First Printing.. Hardcover. As New/No Dust Jacket, As Issued.. New York City, NY: Warner Classics, 2017. Hardcover. As New/None, As Issued. First Edition/First Printing. 1 pages. Rare Beatrice Rana collectible set. A pristine copy of the Compact Disc (CD) recording of Bach's "Goldberg Variations" with a pristine copy of the Souvenir Program of her February 24, 2019 Chicago recital, both signed by Beatrice Rana. The first and only release on CD. Presents "Bach: The Goldberg Variations". One of the definitive performances of Johann Sebastian Bach's marathon masterpiece. Among his last works, it is a "summing-up" of everything he knew, mastered, and surpassed about the High Baroque canonical style. The "Goldberg Variations" consists of thirty variations on the spare bass line of the opening Aria (instead of the Aria's melody). Beatrice Rana performs all the variations and all of the repeats indicated by Bach, resulting in a recording that lasts 77 minutes and 45 seconds. An absolute "must-have" collectible, not just memorabilia, item for Beatrice Rana collectors. This copy of the Compact Disc (CD) is very boldly and beautifully signed in black pen-marker in front by Beatrice Rana. It is signed directly on the CD Cover itself, as was her preference. It comes with a pristine copy of the Souvenir Program of her Chicago recital, during which event her signature was obtained, also very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen-marker by Rana. This title is a great CD recording. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy (with signed Souvenir Program) of this historic recording available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed set thus. One of the most brilliant pianists of our time. A fine set. (SEE ALSO LARS VOGT TITLE IN OUR CATALOG).
