Glenn Gould - J.S.Bach: Piano Concertos No. 1-5 & No.7 - Japan 2 CD

Description:

[Sony Classical Masterpieces Collection 1000] These are the masterpieces of classical music that have moved the world for 100 years! From Casals to Midori Goto, Sony Music's two major classical labels, Sony Classical and RCA RED SEAL, have a wide variety of classical masterpieces, classic discs, super discs, fixed discs, lost discs, odd discs, rare discs, and treasures, including new liner notes and some world/Japan first CD releases, at an astounding price! The series of two separate releases for 1,000 yen plus tax (1,500 yen plus tax for the 2-disc set) will continue in 2016. Bach's concertos are overwhelmingly played on harpsichord rather than piano in the modern era, but Gould's unique touch brought the charm of these works to life for listeners. In the concertos as well, Gould's fresh approach to expression remains unchanged. The performance, which makes full use of bouncy staccato to accentuate the melodic lines as if he were singing, is truly stamped with Gould's music. The passionate Bernstein (No. 1) and the agile Golschmann (Nos. 2, 5, and 7) backed up their soloists with conducting that clearly expressed their individual personalities. ◆Time Limited Edition (through the end of March 2018) / Liner notes / Recording dates: April 11 & 30, 1957, February 10, 1969, etc. / Location: 30th Street Studios, New York, New York
