JAMES R. OESTREICH AT 1 SECOND Unlike the cheering throng in Zankel Hall on Thursday evening, I found the French pianist Alexandre Tharaud's performance of Bach's "Goldberg" Variations somewhat disappointing in its unevenness: at times, brilliantly virtuosic; at others, matter-of-fact and almost studentish.
