[f_minor] Glenn Gould plays Bach, re-releases etc

[Jörgen Lundmark]

Hello Pat,

Yes, the Bach trilogy is out which of course is good news in itself. 
What is less good is that there is nothing but the films -- no outtakes! 
-- except short introductory liner notes by Michael Stegemann. The 
apparent video degradation of especially the "An Art of the Fugue" 
hasn't been dealt with either. At least I cannot detect and restoration 
work being done. Haven't compared the sound on the Goldberg film with 
the previous DVD, so I can't say anything for certain as far as the 
audio is concerned. Anyway, all three films are at last available!

Your message about the upcoming Sony releases made me search Ammazon.de. 
Here's what I found:
http://www.amazon.de/Glenn-Gould--Acoustic-Orchestrations-Gould/dp/B008L8OFJU/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1342269210&sr=1-1

This must be the Scriabin 5th project finished, or...?

Regards,
Jörgen


> Dear all
> Over the next few weeks Sony Classical will re-release some GG

> To my knowledge some of the Montsagenon films were never released on

> Sony will also re-release some major recordings by GG in August and 
> September. The cover design will be similar to the recent CBC DVD 
> release. An example can be seen here:

> (Please note the word Collection here....)

> No word as of yet if Sony or the CBD will have a look in the infamous
