Editorial Review:
In the summer of 1955 a brash, eccentric, and awesomely gifted 22-year-old pianist swept the didactic cobwebs off this monumental opus, and a star was born. For listeners weaned on the Romantic Bach stylings of Fischer, Casals, and Landowska, the effect was like stepping into an ice cold shower. Glenn Gould's agile, independent hands and hair-trigger rhythm ignited Bach's virtuosic writing with insight and irreverence, sprucing up the counterpoint with crisp articulation, perky accents and jaw-dropping tempos. This debut recording is the best known and arguably the finest of Gould's commercial discs. Buy it and hear why. --Dan Davis
