Description:

The Glenn Gould Complete Jacket Collection" is presented to mark the brilliant pianist's 75th birthday and the 25th anniversary of his death. It is a fascinating, limited edition: all the artist's LP recordings in the "look and feel" of the original vinyl discs on 80 CDs.

The Canadian Glenn Gould (born in Toronto 25 September 1932 - died there 4 October 1982) was without doubt one of the most important pianists of all time. Even today, the idiosyncratic interpretations and the eccentric personality of the "James Dean of the piano" exert a continuing fascination.

In good time to commemorate the artist's birth 75 years ago on 25 September and his death 25 years ago on 4 October 2007, the Sony Classical label is launching a special project in honour of the double anniversary: "The Glenn Gould Complete Jacket Collection" transfers all the artist's recordings for LP on to 78 CDs, from Glenn Gould's legendary 1955 recording of the Goldberg Variations to piano works by Richard Strauss released posthumously on 4 April 1984, and of course, not one of the brilliant artist's legendary Bach recordings is missed out.

Each of the 60 single and 9 double CDs consists of the exact recordings as first issued on vinyl and looks like a miniaturised form of the original disc: the CDs are in cardboard slipcases in the original design, and the CD itself is designed to look like a LP.

Supplemented by two bonus CDs, the limited "Glenn Gould Complete Jacket Collection" comprises 80 CDs mounted in a high-quality display case with a booklet of more than 240 pages. This booklet contains a new, detailed essay by the German Gould specialist Michael Stegemann on Glenn Gould and the LP recording era along with texts and repertoire details to all recordings in the edition, plus a listing and depiction of the records with reissue dates for repertoire that has appeared before.

The bonus CDs include the last great interview that Glenn Gould gave the American journalist Tim Page in 1981 and an essay on Johann Sebastian Bach and the fugue that Gould recorded in 1972 for a bonus LP. They also feature a number of late recordings that never appeared on vinyl: fragments of the "Italian Album" and Wagner's Siegfried Idyll in its orchestral version -- Gould's recording debut as conductor and his last recording of all, made on 8 September 1982 with members of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. Another rarity is Gould's own film music to George Roy Hill's Slaughterhouse Five from 1972.

5It's a real collectors' choice  May 10, 2008
The CDs are all in the oringinal jacket of the issued LPs. I have not get time to listen to all the tracks. Controversy is common on Gloud's way of presenting music. If you do not care the other comments, you worth to own it.

5Glenn Gould  Apr 22, 2008
Glenn Gould: The Complete Original Jacket Collection - Amazon.com Exclusive

The first time I heard Glenn Gould play was in the late 1960's, when I lived in Russia. These were the 2-part and 3-part Inventions by Bach.

I was twenty years old, and had little experience in listening to classical music, but the record made the music of Bach accessible for me.

Ever since I made an effort to acquire recordings of Glenn Gould. It so happened that these were mostly performances of Bach, Mozart, and Haydn.

And now I finally acquired all of Gould's performances, arranged in a chronological order.

On one hand, I experienced a nostalgic experienc. On the other hand, there is plenty of good music in one package here.

I would like to thank Sony and Amazon for providing this wonderful experience.

5A must have for Glenn Gould fans  Apr 08, 2008
I had not idea of the depth and breath of Glenn Gould's recordings. I was fairly well acquainted with the Goldberg variations, but was pleasantly surprised by all the other works he recorded as well. I have not listened to all the CDs yet, but thus far, I cannot fault the quality of the performances nor their recording quality. I own a high-end hi-fi gear and the musicality of the works is very well communicated. Thouroughly enjoyable, this set will provide with many hours of listening pleasure and will complete one's appreciation of Glenn Gould's talent.

5A True Jewel of a Set  Apr 06, 2008
This set of Glenn Gould's recorded works is an amazing bargain for the price. The novelty of the box and CD holders are a fun touch to the collection; and the sound quality across the collection is wonderful.

With such a big set, sometimes there are a few quirks. Though I have not experienced problems such with CD-37 or others so far listed; I did find that CD 63-a (The Glenn Gould Silver Jubilee Album) had its track titles all mixed up from their correct pieces/movements. On some random others I found all titles and tracks in an Asian font.

This didn't bother me too much though, as I can just edit the titles and tracks when I put them on my computer.

I am thrilled with this collection! I recommend anyone who loves Mr. Gould's spirited musical interpretations, to get this collection while it lasts.

Such a great set to have (with album covers) on my Zune :).
