Bach ① Goldberg Variations (1959 Salzburg Festival Live) ② Three-Part Inventions (1957 Moscow Live) Glenn Gould (Piano) Gould's legendary live recording of the "Goldberg Variations"! Glenn Gould, who passed away in 1982 at the age of 50. His Bach performances, starting with the Goldberg Variations in 1955, overturned the conventional image of Bach, establishing a new standard for 20th-century Bach performance with its freshness, vividness, and profound spirituality. This album is a legendary live recording of Gould's performance at the Salzburg Festival in 1959. While you should first listen to Gould's Goldberg Variations in the two famous versions (1955 and 1981), those who are hooked should listen to this Salzburg live recording next. Experience a different Gould from the studio recordings. Gould stopped giving concerts after 1964 and focused on studio recordings. These studio recordings made extensive use of tape editing to enhance their perfection, so the sense of presence in this live recording is valuable. Live recordings of the Goldberg Variations in Salzburg and the Inventions in Moscow. Regarding the Salzburg performance, judging from the sound, it is a CD release from broadcast transcription tapes that remained with CBC. The performance itself is a one-take recording from a concert, so there are some imperfections, but you can still enjoy the tension unique to a live performance. The '55 version has too much variation in tempo between variations. The meticulous and flawless world of the '81 version is probably the music itself in his mind. However, it may be impossible to experience it in reality, in the world of ideas. Listen to this album as a bridge to that world, while dreaming of the other shore, the '81 version. The style is similar to the '55 version, but due to the temporality of the live performance, the feeling of Gould's touch, as if exploring, is vividly conveyed. This is the album where you feel the happiest listening to Gould.
