Glenn Gould – The Complete Glenn Gould Bach Keyboard Concertos Nos. 1-5 & 7 (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Gould's relationship with Bach was the defining obsession of his career, from his landmark 1955 Goldberg Variations debut recording through his final studio sessions. He approached the keyboard concertos not as a soloist seeking spotlight but as a chamber voice in genuine conversation with the orchestra, a philosophy that still sounds radical decades later. These performances capture why he remains the standard against which all Bach pianists are measured.
Way in front of composers of the Viennese Classical era, which he did not take particularly seriously - although his performances keenly reflect Beethoven's rhythmicity - comes his personal deity: Bach. Gould's notorious strictness gives form to the minutest of figure in the score. He weaves his way through Bach's music and thereby articulates it's tightly knit and multi-facetted depths. No lecturing keyboard proponent this, but a creative co-composer who imbues the spirit of the music with life and sonority.
