Every time I listen to this recording, it never fails to fill me with a sense of awe. I can not help thinking that the fate had ordained that the recording itself became the concluding aria to his short yet fulfilled life. It will surly remain as the pinnacle of art of piano playing as long as mankind lives on this planet.

Gavrilov tried to out do this performance (in fact he plays some variations even faster), but does not come even close in terms of technical ease and the transcendental quality of the music making. I will strongly recommend the DVD of this amazing recording too. This performance must be watched as well as listened to, to be fully appreciated - Glenn Gould: The Goldberg Variations [1981] (REGION 1) (NTSC)

Glen Gould was most perfect interpreter of Bach. His second recording of the Goldberg Variations is without parallel. No other pianist has yet reached his level of technique combined with artistry.

The music being played is obviously brilliant. However, there is some noise in the background which sounds like someone humming along to the music and I find it very irritating, especially when listening with earphones.
