Well done by Lang Lang. It’s not easy to add heart and soul to Bach (beautiful, but too Germanically mechanical)...but he did.

There are purists who insist that it can only be played on a two manual harpsichord, which I sort of get. Variation 11 for instance, right in the first measure has you going for the middle c# while your left is trying to peg the e, d, and same c# on the way down. But I can do it on a piano and folks say WAY better than me can and have figured it out.

Bach on piano is glorious.
