Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 (1955 Recording)

Description

The genius of the piano, from Bach to the present day... Glenn Gould is, par excellence, that rare and iconic artist whose first recording, dedicated to Bach in 1955, was a truly historic event! A piano genius for some — of incredible inventiveness, pushing his artistic approach to the extreme, a brilliant composer, a radio personality as much as a pianist — an artist of infinite eccentricity for others, but one whom we understand will continue to be talked about for a long time. He gradually became a legend, for his audacious choices, his incredible antics, even suddenly interrupting his career in 1964, to devote himself solely to the recording studio. For Bach, as for many other composers, Gould will now be considered an incomparable artistic phenomenon, taking his place alongside the greatest interpreters of classical music, such as Karajan, Rostropovich, Maria Callas, or Arthur Rubinstein.
