The recording industry of the 20th century saw stars become legends and albums become icons of popular culture. Completed in a total of only four days and released in January 1956, Glenn Gould s dΘbut recording of Bach s Goldberg Variations is without doubt one of the most significant and successful classical recordings in the history of the gramophone record. Documenting with unprecedented completeness the events that unfolded in Columbia s 30th Street Studio during those four key days in June 1955, the present release allows listeners for the very first time to join Glenn Gould, his producer Howard Scott and sound engineer Fred Plaut as one of the greatest recordings of all time came into existence. Glenn Gould: The Goldberg Variations The Complete Unreleased Recording Sessions is probably the most comprehensive special edition ever dedicated to a single classical music album. It features Glenn Gould s complete recording sessions of Bach s Goldberg Variations on 5 CDs (including the studio conversations between him and his producer), restored from the original ╝-inch analogue tapes and re mastered using 24 bit / 96 kHz technology, plus the final album on both CD and heavyweight 180 gram vinyl, as well as an extra CD Glenn Gould Discusses His Performances of the Goldberg Variations with Tim Page. The edition comes with a 90 x 60 cm (36 x 24 ) poster and a 280-page hard-cover coffee-table book, featuring 45 sensational, newly discovered photos from the recording sessions, the complete musical score, several essays and an extensive documentation including facsimiles of more than 20 archival documents detailing how an analogue vinyl LP was recorded in the mid-1950s.

Keith Urban-Flow State @ Tears for Fears-Songs fro

Sent In By: Debra on 21 August 2026
I was very happy with my purchases both albums are great. I love Keith's album as he has recorded some old songs which are great and the new as well. Tears for Fears it was a great album which I did not have so decided to buy this as well. The people at discrepancy were very helpful as I had order one and the added the other and they were very accommodating. I have bought vinyl from them before and always been happy with my purchases.
