Glenn Gould, piano
This set documents Glenn Gould the concert pianist in unprecedented depth. The recordings range in date from 1951 to 1960, a few years before he gave up concert life for good. They include all of the genres in which he performed live, the earliest work being by Bach and the latest by Krenek.
