String orchestra version of Goldberg Variations makes the music dance

I’ve been listening to Dmitri Sitkovetsky’s 20-year-old string-orchestra arrangement of J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations — recorded in 1993 and still available from Nonesuch.

My main reason for recommending it: the music dances so beautifully.

Not sure I should be posting the YouTube version here, because it’s a whole performance, so make sure you check out the album details on the official site here.
