Bach - Goldberg Variations you favourite

These variations have been my constant companion for the last sixty years and I have a few firm favourites spanning that time and more. I believe they are with Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations the consummate art of the western civilisation.
Could you please list which ones you listen to most.
My selection is Arrau , Gould 1955 , Schiff 1983 , Dershavina , Rana and Levit.

Vladimir Feltsman....Lived in Russia after the crash of the walls...

A stupendous creative interpretation filled with a spirit that is not only virtuoso but much more pure joy....

This Bach Work is a gem among gems by the old master... And i loved all interpretations tough....

I will investigate Dershavina playings Thanks very much for the advice....
