Glenn Gould's recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations is one of the most famous classical piano albums ever, launching his career with its dazzling clarity and unique interpretation in 1955, contrasting sharply with slower styles, and later he recorded a more expansive, reflective version in 1981, both becoming iconic, defining the work for generations of listeners.

Glenn Gould - The Goldberg Variation - Mono Single Reel Tape. 


Glenn Herbert Gould was a Canadian classical pianist. Widely regarded as one of the greatest pianists of all time, he was renowned as an interpreter of the keyboard works of Johann Sebastian Bach.

Glenn Herbert Gould (September 25, 1932–October 4, 1982) was a Canadian pianist who became one of the best-known & most celebrated classical pianists of the 1900's. He is renowned as an interpreter of the keyboard music of Johann Sebastian Bach. His playing was distinguished by remarkable technical proficiency and capacity to articulate the polyphonic texture of Bach's music. He is widely considered one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century.

After his adolescence, Gould rejected most of the standard Romantic piano literature, including Liszt, Schumann, and Chopin. Although his recordings were dominated by Bach, Gould's repertoire was diverse, including works by Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, Brahms, pre-Baroque composers such as Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, Orlando Gibbons & William Byrd, and such 20th-century composers as Paul Hindemith, Arnold Schoenberg & Richard Strauss. Gould was known for various eccentricities, from his unorthodox musical interpretations and mannerisms at the keyboard to aspects of his lifestyle and personal behaviour. He stopped giving concerts at 31 to concentrate on studio recording and other projects.

Gould was also a writer, broadcaster, conductor, and composer. He was a prolific contributor to music journals, where he discussed music theory and outlined his musical philosophy. As a broadcaster, Gould performed on television and radio, and produced 3 radio documentaries called the Solitude Trilogy, about isolated areas of Canada.
