Bach: Suites Inglesi-Suites Francesi-Ouverture Bwv 831

It is really difficult to add to what has already been said. For me these aree reference versions against which all others must be compared. Yes, I know, subjectivity is an important part of any musical review. I happen to appreciate at a very deep level the clarity and transparency of Gould's playing. No sluring, no unnessary legato. Just and only the music, which, I'm sure, Bach himself would approve.

These are the best I've heard of these works. His playing is refreshingly unhurried. Every note can be heard.He plays them in a totally different style from most contemporary pianists.10 stars. Highly recommended.

These performances are sheer genius. Even if Gould didn’t perform except in the studio, these are worth careful listening.

Glenn Gould? Bach? either one is great, together just heaven. OI was pleasantly surprised when a 4 CD set arrived, until I played them Then - especially the Overture in the French Style - I was transported to that place of awe that only Bach can provide, made even better by marvellous Glenn

Glenn Gould is amazing player!Unfortunately he is trying time to time to hum melody along with his playing.And this could be really annoying.

Excellent in every respect.

If you like Bach and piano don't miss this set of recordings. SONY Classical does it for me!

Glenn Gould always amazes me with his unique interpretations and unbelievable technique. Fabulous album.

Einzigartige Einspielung die ich immer wieder genieße.

流石にグールドですね。とても感じよい演奏でした。が、新品を購入したのに、CD1とCD４に傷がついていたし、ケースは割れていました。グールドのファンで、コレクションをしていたのでとても残念で仕方ありません。聴くことには差し支えありませんでしたが、新品なのにかなりショックでした。本当に新品なのか疑問が残ります。検品はしているのかな？

When I first really (and finally after much youthful resistance: Bach's too formal, too rigid, isn't he? - no, wrong) appreciated Bach's piano work, it was only through Gould's playing. These various recordings grouped by Sony under the "Glenn Gould Collection" are wonderful. And great value: 3 or 4 CDs in one box. Perfect also to work to - the musical intricacy, variety and virtuosity stimulate the brain. Bach and Excel really do go together.

tremendous set.

Escuchar a Glen Gould es escuchar otro Bach, pero la música de Bach admite cualquier interpretación e incluso transcripción, poque su música siempre se impone por encima de cualquier intérprete. En Este caso ya conocía el estilo de este pianista genial que matiza y resalta de tal manera el contrapunto Bachiano.
