COMING SOON

Glenn Gould -- The Complete Goldberg Variations: State of Wonder -- September 3
In honor of the 70th anniversary of pianist Glenn Gould's birth Legacy Recordings and Sony Classical are releasing a deluxe 3-CD set of The Complete Goldberg Variations!!

The Goldberg Variations are Glenn Gould's signature work. He recorded two versions of Bach's great composition: once in 1955 and again in 1981. It is a testament to Gould's genius that he could record the same piece of music twice -- so differently, yet each version brilliant in its own way.
