So much has been written about the sensation caused by Glenn Gould's first studio recording of the Goldberg Variations in June 1955 that it is hardly necessary to repeat the story of this 'birth of a legend' here. But even though it was this recording that laid the foundations for Gould's international reputation as a Bach interpreter, its roots lie much further back. From the very outset, his Bach had been as unconventional as it was distinctive - and so it remains, in spite of regular attempts to enthrone a 'new Glenn Gould' (conversely, this has meant that every new recording of Bach's keyboard works is judged by Gould's standards).
The DVD includes the Goldberg Variations.
