Glenn Gould - Part 2 – The 1981 ‘Goldberg Variations’ Recording
Update: 2025-09-24
Description
Johann Sebastian Bach’s‘ The Goldberg Variations’ was the only work that Glenn Gould recorded twice. Now, he died only about a year after this recording so it’s not possible to say that he would not have re-recorded other works… but there is something a little haunting that the work that took him from quirky prodigy to global star in 1955 was the one he returned to in the final year of his life. If you are after some background to Gould and the music he made, then please listen to the previous episode. If you are happy to launch into 52 minutes of piano magic… then ‘just hit play’.
