Glenn Gould Collection Vol I AVC AC3 720p Complete

This torrent contains what I have labeled as Nºs "1" through "9" from the collection "Volume 1" of the same DVD indicated under torrent #11140626. The remaining parts include both piano performances and a few on the harpsichord (although I loath the harpsichord). Note that all files have been altered.

I suppose my loathing of the harpsichord augments my estimation of "J.S. Bach" by several orders of magnitude. You know, … like I would've just gone into "plumbing" or something; where at least there's *some* chance of feeling a sense of beauty and satisfaction as a result of your labors.

• That's why they invented the piano.

-----------------

Anyway, Here is the "track" list (some audio changes were made to the previous versions):
--------------------------------
01. Beethoven Piano Sonata Op 110 Nº3
02. Beethoven 15 Variations and Fuge Op 35 1960
03. J.S. Bach - Well Tempered Klavier Book II - No 14 F-Sharp Min
04. J.S. Bach Partita Nº5 Allemande
05. Fantasia - Jan Sweelinck (1562-1621)
06. Beethoven, Bagatelle Nº3 Op 126
07. J.S. Bach - Das Wohltemperierte Klavier II, Fuga 22
08. Ludwig van Beethoven - Sonata Opus 31 Nº2
09. Paul Hindemith - Piano Sonata Nº3 Fugue

The quality is variable both audio and video. Some great, some not so great.

Also, there were several works I discarded from this set; Two (or 3?) operas, one of them being a comedy in English and another was in German. I thought the first was simply too corny. But more to the point: if I had it in my music library I would *never* include it in any playlist!

As for the other opera(s), simply *being* an opera already has a strike against it for me with my *personal* preferences. Normally I wouldn't listen to an opera, I just don't like them. Normally …

As with everything of course, there are one or two exceptions. One of the exceptions is something called "Stabat Mater" which has about a thousand versions. But the one I like is by "Pergolesi" (it is the opening music for the film "Jesus de Montréal"). Another is Mozart's unfinished Requiem.

I'm sure there are plenty of others, … actually yes I can think of another: "Carmen" by Georges Bizet. I'd definitely listen to Carmen if I had any decent version of it.

Well, anyway. Enjoy!
