It'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.

Glenn 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.

A 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.

A 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 :).
