Free Music Notes for Glenn Gould: The Complete Original Jacket Collection - Amazon.com Exclusive
Free Music Review: Absolute Perfection!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Absolute perfection. Every single touch is incredible!! At any price, this complete series is worth the money~!Free Music Review: Unfortunately this set in not complete
Hit: 4 Stars
first of all, the set itself is great. and its a good thing to have so many recordings of glenn gould accessible at once, with this set. but I was quite dissapointed to find out that it does not contain all of his recordings. for example the part of bach's art of fugue which glenn gould played on the piano, is completely missing. also missing are his very early recordings. two recordings of the goldbergs are missing (the salzberg one 1959, and the early 1954 recording). also missing are the recording outtakes recently released on the new gould goldbergs record. and neither included are his radio documentaries (solitude trilogy). also his organ recording of bach Prelude & Fugue ("St. Anne") in Eb Major, BWV 552 is missing. this are the things I immediately realised. maybe other recordings are missing as well.
so my critique is that the title of the box is missleading, naming it "complete", which it is obviously not.
Free Music Review: Issues with CD37 in some copies
Hit: 4 Stars
I have read reports mentioning a manufacturing defect in CD-37 (Beethoven's Variations). I listened to my copy (purchased here) and confirmed, unfortunately, that the report is true. Harsh noise, a brief very loud electronic "screech", came out of nowhere on tracks 26, 28, 30, 31. Very annoying. Anyone else hear this? I sent my set back to Amazon for a replacement. I forgot to look at mine to see where the CDs were actually manufactured. An acquaintance in Canada bought one there and it was OK.
