An extraordinary experience
Glenn Gould Goldberg Variations (and not Goldenberg as a hidden tag read by my computer indicates)is a classic: the classic of the classic is his 1955 recording - so different from the 1985'one. The 1955 interpretation is not so analytical as the later one-but it is ...

Really, so NO ONE in 1981 realized the analog tapes sounder better?
Most of us may remember the "perfect music forever" marketing that introduced CDs 25 years ago... those of us with working ears pretty quickly dismissed it for the hype it was... I've got both the '55 and '81 versions and now this release. I have NO regrets re the ...

Passion
I recently listened to an MP3 recording of Bach's WTC Book I by Glenn Gould. I know the music well having listened so many times to the recordings by Andras Schiff and Angela Hewitt. Gould's recording was a revelation. While there is a considerable amount of ...

Teeming with classics
I purchased this for track #10, which I'd happened to hear on the radio...it stayed in my head until I tracked down the CD. I have a relatively basic working knowledge of classical music, so this long playing collection was an excellent and surprising introduction to ...

Words cannot decribe it
I love Bach's music, and generally insist on two things; firstly, that it is played a little slower than we are generally served it; and secondly that it is played on traditional instruments. When I first heard Glenn Gould's 1981 recording, I realised how ridiculous ...
The Goldberg Variations - Glenn Gould Plays Bach
Glenn Gould
Sony Classics, 2007
Ridiculously incredible. Absolutely authoritative.
Current 3rd party price $138 ? I just got this for under $30, I won't say from where, but it was not that difficult, from a huge online vendor that rhymes with Freeway. Anyway, this is one of the top 5 piano DVD's of all time. I'll bet you you $150 Gould in 1981 ...

The best playing the best
What more can one say when Glenn Gould plays J. S. Bach? Two masters bringing out each other's finest: Bach is the song and Gould the instrument that vibrates through our souls with messages from the divine. I tell my kids that one of the best ways to get their ...

an astounding collection
In recording technology, Glenn Gould saw a new future for music -- a future not of the public concert, or even of the "embalmed concert moment" (as he referred to un-edited "live" recordings), but one in which the artist was able to splice and edit until he reached a ...

Glenn Gould Plays the French Suites
Bach composed the French Suites, BWV 812 --817, in his late-30s between 1722-1725 while living in Cothen (before his move to Leipzig). The first five of the six suites were written for Anna Magdalena, Bach's second wife. Opinions differ on the "French" character of ...

GOULD WELL TEMPERED
One should not call a recording `epoch-making' unless it really marks some kind of epoch, but Gould's `48' is an epoch-making issue in the proper rigour of the term. What Gould achieved was to restore the art of playing Bach on the piano to full respectability after ...

Pure Inspiration From A Musician From Another Realm!
I am a Pianist/Composer who has been teaching piano as my full time profession for well over 23 years, so needless to say, music and the piano is a huge part of my life. Though I must admit that was not a big fan of Gould's before seeing this DVD, I am a fan now! ...

Sony, 2002
ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING!!
The apogee of this recording is the toccata in e--the first movement of the e minor Partita, S. 830. This is one of the first recordings GG made for Columbia--immediately after the Goldberg Variations in 1955, and made the same year. Bach's "toccatas" contained ...

Beautiful Collection of Classical Music
This is a fantastic CD of beautiful music. It is uplifting and soothing at the same time. I have several good classic music compilations CDs, but this is my favorite and the one that gets played daily! When the littlest one is napping, it goes on. When I'm cooking, ...

more than Gouldiana
Glenn Gould has become a cottage industry, I guess. What does it matter, when films this fine come along. Bruno Monsaigneon strikes gold with a fresh look at a music giant. All Monsaigneon's films are gems. (his film of Menuhin's return to Russia - the patience and ...
