on Mon, 09/03/2012 - 22:04

It's official - the Open Goldberg Variations Double CD, played by Kimiko Ishizaka, is available on Amazon. The final physical manifestation of this project has turned out beautifully, featuring many great photos of Kimiko, the dedications for all of the variations from the Kickstarter backers, and liner notes from both Andrew Melck and Kimiko herself.
