Review by Andrew Murphy

Variations Goldberg Live In Salzburg 1959 by Glenn Gould Bach is a timeless masterpiece that showcases the virtuosity of one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century. Recorded live in Salzburg in 1959, this album features Gould's iconic interpretation of Bach's Goldberg Variations, which has become the benchmark for all subsequent recordings of this work.

The album captures the intensity and passion of Gould's performance, as he navigates the intricate and complex variations with effortless ease. His technical brilliance is matched only by his deep understanding of the emotional and spiritual depth of Bach's music, which he conveys with remarkable sensitivity and nuance.

The recording quality is excellent, capturing every nuance and detail of Gould's performance with crystal-clear clarity. The audience's enthusiastic response is also captured, adding to the sense of occasion and excitement that surrounds this historic concert.
