[f_minor] Gould 1981 Goldberg Ghost Orchestra

[Jörgen Lundmark]

There are indeed non-piano sounds -- string orchestra -- on the 1981 
Goldbergs. It's easiest to hear at the end of variation 15. The problem 
-- as far as I remember Bruno Monsaingeon explaining it -- was the 
mixing table which "leaked" a radio station signal onto the master. 
Perhaps someone has a more specific explanation, but the sound is 
definitely there. Some years ago when this was first discussed on F 
minor, I saw a list with the exact timing of other extraneous sounds on 
the Goldbergs; doors slamming etc. I cannot say I've heard any of these 
though.

The funny thing is that DG:s rerelease of the WTC with Rosalyn Tureck -- 
first track -- also has a ghost sound.
