Johann Sebastian Bach, Glenn Gould – The Goldberg Variations

Stereoplay 2/1983: "Even more unconcessionally constructed. The sky-is-falling nature of earlier times gave way to a more detached, even more mature Bach playing. What remained the same, however, was Gould's phenomenal ability to make complex musical processes transparent and thus sensually perceptible No other pianist was able to play Bach's piano works as luminously, as crystal clear as he did - neither in 1955 nor in 1981."
