Our Take

Oh, what a jolly old time we had listening to Glenn Gould's A State Of Wonder - The Complete Goldberg Variations 1955 & 1981. Gould may have passed away decades ago, but his iconic interpretations of Bach's Goldberg Variations still shine brightly in this delightful collection.

In the 1955 recording, Gould's youthful exuberance and lightning-fast fingers bring a fresh, dynamic energy to the Variations. The crispness of his playing and the sheer joy he exudes while tickling the ivories makes this version an absolute joy to listen to.

Fast forward to 1981, and Gould's more mature and contemplative approach to the Goldberg Variations is equally mesmerizing. The depth of emotion and introspection in his playing adds a whole new layer of complexity to the music. It's like sipping a fine wine that has been aged to perfection.

The contrast between the two recordings is nothing short of mind-blowing. It's like watching a butterfly emerge from its chrysalis - same creature, but a whole new level of beauty and grace.

So, whether you're a die-hard Gould fan or a newcomer to his work, A State Of Wonder is a must-have for any music lover's collection. Get ready to be transported on a magical musical journey like no other. Highly recommended.
