Bach: Goldberg Variations; Variations in the Italian Style, Harpsichordist Igor Kipnis (Angel; 2 LPs; $11.98). The Art of Igor Kipnis, Vol. 2 (Columbia; 3 LPs; $9.98).

Again--when you have Paradise as the scene the danger lies in seeming ponderous. Here the solution--as in, say, "The Blue Angel"--is sensuality: it takes care of fluidity, momentum and vividness in a fell swoop if it's used right. Hershman does, by making his serpent a double image, played by two women, Gypsy Knocks and Victoria Kins. They never stop moving, swaying and undulating in a coiling mass that envelopes...
