Best of Glenn Gould
Release Date: 09/11/2015
"The best of Glenn Gould" on a double CD in unprecedented sound quality. This "Best of" double album by the brilliant cult pianist was developed based on lavishly remastered original recordings. Of course, it features a lot of music by Johann Sebastian Bach, with whose Goldberg Variations Gould began his meteoric career in 1955. Gould's Bach recordings were revolutionary and still enjoy absolute reference status today. In addition to excerpts from the Goldberg Variations, there is music from Bach's piano concertos, the Well-Tempered Clavier, and the English and French Suites. But also his unique interpretations of the music of Beethoven, Strauss, Brahms, Sibelius, and Haydn can be heard on this high-quality double album. The limited first edition with an essay by Gould biographer Bazzana comes with a four-color booklet.
