LP - Limited Edition 180g Virgin Vinyl featuring the complete album + bonus track. Specially prepared liner notes by renowned music writer Brian Morton.  

Canadian pianist Glenn Gould (1932-1982) became one of the best- known and most celebrated classical pianists of the 20th century and particularly renowned as an interpreter of the keyboard music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Gould's playing was distinguished by his remarkable technical profciency 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 at that time - 40,000 copies by 1960, and more than 100,000 by the time of Gould's death in 1982.
