Description
Glenn Gould - Bach: Goldberg Variations
Yes indeed, this is Glenn Gould's hugely important, fetishistic and massively affecting version of the infamous Goldberg variations. Originally composed in 1741 by Bach for Count Kaiserling to aid his fidgety nights (and played for the Count by his personal pianist - Johan Goldberg), this is a classical recording worthy of getting to know. This features the rare artwork by Paul Huf, a photographer worth looking up - certainly on google images - there was even a book about Huf's record covers made a few years ago but he seems to have fallen from the right sort of fame. Anyway, I've been playing this lots at home and my kids like it too. Mastered from the French pressing of this legendary session, which apparently sounds way better than the USA version.
