The 80s recording isn't too bad either. Definitely more introspective from an older, more mature Gould.bharris22 wrote:I would very highly recommend Glenn Gould playing the Goldberg Variations (I prefer the earlier version from the 1950's) as a gateway drug to both Bach and Gould.
This is heresy but I recently imported some public domain MIDIs of the Goldberg Variations and played that through the Steinway Grand in Logic Pro X and I can't stop listening to it. If there ever was a perfect pianist ...
Played the Diabelli Variations as well via MIDI and man, it's good. Next up will be the Hammerklavier. This is probably another reason why I like Heifetz so much - he just doesn't make any mistakes in his playing (OK very, very rarely).
