Brings out the inner voices you don't usually hear. His ornamentations are very nicely placed.

For years I listened well over 100 interpretations of BWV 988 on different (and exotic) instruments. What concerning to piano, this Koroliov recording (1999) is definitely one of my best (maybe even 'the' best because of lovely slow tempos, but not always). I highly recommend also his videorecording of 2008 (Gewandhaus zu Leipzig; total 88 minutes, a tiny slower and yet more magnetizing) and his later audiorecording of 2011 (Max Reger Halle, Stadt Weiden in der Oberpfalz; total 83 minutes). For other piano interpretations of my 'the best' list, firstly I recommend two recordings by Rosalin Tureck: 1988-issued recording of late 1970s (maybe early in 1980s) of 75 minutes length, quite energetic but sparingly, not overwhelming; and rather slow interpretation of 1998 (90 minutes). Later I recommend interpretation by Ekaterina Dershavina (1994) - 1st place on "J.S.Bach Piano International Competition" (Saarbrucken-Germany, 1992); 77 minutes, quite moderate. Also I recommend meditative Ragna Schirmer (1999) - she twice was winner in Bach Competition Leipzig (1992 and 1998); 87 mins total. I very fond of her performance. I continue with 'powerful' and energetic rendition by Murray Perahia (2000), 75 mins. Just transcendental. My preferred tempos are slow but here Perahia had overcomed my tastes and given me his own view to Goldbergs - very satisfactory for me. Next but not least comes incomparable Angela Hewitt (1999), 78 minutes of true perfection. Anyone still reading?.. Let me introduce charming and tender Simone Dinnerstein (2005), 78 minutes of charm and sweeteness. Andras Schiff enters with three somewhat shorter recordings of 70-80 mins (1982, 1990, 2001). So specific Schiff's touching is more distinguishible in earlier recording. Yes, Glenn Gould (1981) here not first, quite short recording, about 50 mins. And definitely perfect, and definitely quick tempos somewhere. And now comes Kimiko Ishizaka (2012) with 82 minutes of meditative perfection (Open Goldberg Variations project). Last in this list is quite extravagant rendition of Alexander Paley (2000 or 2004) with many own 'variations' and very-very slow, 104 minutes! This was my own list of my best Goldbergs on Piano.

Are they actually a "cult recording"? Why is that?
