J.S.Bach - Glenn Gould - The Glenn Gould Edition Goldberg Variations BWV 988 (1955)(1992) Flac (Image + Cue) (Remastered)

Undoubtedly the most famous of all recordings of the Goldberg Variations, or of any Bach keyboard work for that matter, is Glenn Gould's 1955 debut (Sony SMK 52594). The technical display is otherworldly. The Gould camp is split as to whether Gould's 1955 recording is better than his more mathematical re-appraisal of the work recorded in 1981, shortly before his death (Sony MK 37779). Many keyboardists prefer the 1955 recording for its sheer technique, while the 1981 release is generally considered more mature and colorful.
