180-Gram Vinyl Limited Edition. Contains specially prepared liner notes by Brian Morton. Canadian pianist Glenn Gould (1932-1982) became one of the best-known and most celebrated classical pianists of the 20th century. He was particularly renowned as an interpreter of the keyboard music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Gould's playing was distinguished by his remarkable technical proficiency and his capacity to articulate the polyphonic texture of Bach's music. This release presents Gould's complete original 1955 rendition of Bach's Goldberg Variations (Columbia, ML-5060). The work launched the pianist's career as a renowned international player, and became one of the most well-known piano recordings. Sales were "astonishing" for a classical album: it was reported to have sold 40,000 copies by 1960, and had sold more than 100,000 by the time of Gould's death in 1982. THE COMPLETE ALBUM -180-GRAM VIRGIN VINYL - LIMITED EDITION -Contains specially prepared liner notes by renowned music writer BRIAN MORTON.
