“Goldberg... transcends boundaries - between jazz and chamber music,
between Europe, America and India, between composition and improvisation...”
-- Joachim E. Berendt, Stereo
“At times Goldberg strokes the keys as tenderly as Cezanne paints pastel colors
on a canvas... a pianist who's fingers seem to be made of rubber... his
compositions showcase a talented visionary musician with great technique who
creates his own universe through the piano.”
