Bach's Goldberg Variations, complete with score

Here is a YouTube playlist with the entire recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations, performed by Kimiko Ishizaka, with the musical score, following along note-by-note. I made these videos by recording the video from MuseScore's Open Goldberg Variations iPad app, and then replacing the audio with the CD quality recording from the Open Goldberg Variations CD. Enjoy.
