  • Presto Recording of the Week
    26th March 2007

A 1950s benchmark and a record that forever altered the way we hear Bach's Goldberg Variations, Glenn Gould's 1955 CBS recording, elegant and exuberant, a fast-lane excursion that occasionally pauses for thought… Naxos's excellent transfer is coupled with a confident Bach G major Partita.
