It’s certainly a significant event when such renowned performances and recordings—considered among the best of the 20th century—are re-released by a label other than the original Columbia\/Sony. Fifty years after the recording, this release—which has generated plenty of buzz, including its conversion to surround-sound SACD via computer analysis—undoubtedly expands the range of options for comparative listening. The “Partita” is a release from Canada’s CBC label.\n\nCanadian-born Glenn Gould burst onto the world music scene when he made his U.S. debut performing the “Goldberg Variations” in Washington, D.C., in January 1955. The 1955 recording of this work is considered one of the most important and influential piano recordings of the latter half of the 20th century; it not only played a key role in popularizing Bach’s keyboard works among the general public but also paved the way for a fundamental reevaluation of Bach’s performance practice. At the time of its release, a review in *American Record Guide* carried the headline, “Piano Genius Glenn Gould Makes His Record Debut.” With meticulous attention to clarity and detail, minimal use of the sostenuto pedal, and occasionally fast or even extremely rapid tempos, this performance is vibrant and exciting—a complete antithesis to dry, mechanical styles of Bach performance.
