Description:

The Art of Glenn GouldGould made an impressive debut in 1955 with "Bach: Goltberg Variations," followed by a series of recordings of Bach's works. It took Gould about 10 years from 1962 to complete the "Mean Clavier Works," which have been called the "Old Testament" of piano music. Volume 1 was recorded in 1962, 1963, and 1965, and is a definitive masterpiece in which Gould, still in his early 30s, breathed new life into the music. Bach's universe, beautifully rendered by a well-honed sensibility, is a new discovery every time you listen to it, and it radiates eternal brilliance. Sony Music
