Glenn Gould

Glenn Gould: The Goldberg Variations: The Complete Unreleased 1981 Studio Sessions

£109.99

Released: 30th September 2022. With over 8 hours of previously unreleased music and talks, the listener gets an insight into the making of one of the best-selling classical albums in the world. When Glenn Gould recorded his first version of the 'Goldberg Variations' in 1955, it was at a time when analogue tape material was comparatively expensive, and so the recording focused mainly on individual takes. For the first time, the listener can accompany the great Gould on his journey to the final version of his 'Goldberg Variations', to take part in Gould's discussions and reflections and thus to experience the creation of a masterpiece in the studio up close. CD 1: Aria, variations 1-4, 6, 7, 9, 10; CD 2: Variations 11-15; CD 3: Variations 16-18, 8, 3, 1, 2, 4; CD 4: Variations 6, 7, 9, 10, 12; CD 5: Variations 13, 14, 16, 17, 8; CD 6: Variations 19, 21-25; CD 7: Variations 25-30; CD 8: Aria da capo, variations 20, 5, 26, 27, 29, 24, 30, aria; CD 9: Aria, aria da capo, variations 25, 20; CD 10: Variations 25, 5, 24, 10, 14, 25, 8; CD 11: 'The Goldberg Variations'.
