Glenn Gould Complete Goldberg Variations 1955 & 1981
"If you were young in the 1950s, and you attended the films of Bergman and Fellini, were hip to the Existentialists in Paris and the "Beats" on the road, and followed the daunting stylistic twists and turns from John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and other modern jazz artists, it was more than likely that you were a Gould fan as well.
"Glenn Gould—A State Of Wonder in celebration of the 70th anniversary of his birth. A deluxe 3-CD set this collection features Gould's legendary 1955 Goldberg Variations recording coupled for the first time with a remastered version of his 1981 recording of the same work. The remastering of the '81 Goldbergs was done using the original analogue tapes for unprecedented, pristine sound. The third disc features an intimate discussion with journalist Tim Page and rare studio outtakes from Gould's 1955 recording session.
