Music reviews of Glenn Gould: The Complete Original Jacket Collection - Amazon.com Exclusive

Music Review: THE HOLY GRAIL
Rating: 5 Stars

I am sooo pleased with this box that I want to be one of the first to review it.

First of all, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S HERE! Several years ago Sony released a 12-CD box in their "Original Jacket" collection containing roughly half of Gould's recordings of Bach. I have been desperately hoping that one day they would release another companion box with the rest of the Bach. BUT I wasn't expecting this, not even in my wildest dreams! The COMPLETE official releases of everything, including fantastic rarities! And at an incredibly low price! Little more than two bucks per CD. What's more it arrived in just a couple of days with free shipping!

In spite of the ultra-low price Sony didn't cut any corners. The CDs are individually housed in strong, thick, lovely laminated mini-LP covers, each one replicating the original LP artwork. There are three CDs of interviews and unfinished projects: "Glenn Gould: Concert Dropout" - an interview with John McClure of CBS Records, "In Conversation with Tim Page" and "Italian Album Fragments and Wagner's Siegfried Idyll". There's also a 250-page handsome, hardbound book containing a new, detailed essay by the German Gould specialist Michael Stegemann plus notes, reviews, rare photos and additional alternative LP artwork taken from the reissues and compilations. You also get the complete listings and timings for all the CDs in clear, legible type.

All of this is contained within a sturdy, durable and very beautiful carrying case that will look very cool on your shelf. This is easily the greatest reissue edition of anything so far attempted by Sony. It even surpasses in several aspects the first release on CD of the "Stravinsky Legacy" (available now in a slim super-budget box. Very few frill but an astonishing bargain).

Any quibbles? Well, it would be ungrateful to find flaws in such a beautiful, comprehensive and well-thought-out surprise but I could mention a few things that I would have added:

* The dialogue and outtakes from the 1955 Goldberg Variations. Those were included on the recent "Birth of a Legend" release and should have been part of this issue as well.

* At least one bonus DVD with some essential biographical stuff and snippets of performances on TV and film.

* The notorious Brahms First with Bernstein. I know it's a live recording and not really part of the official "canon" but it is on Sony's "Great Performances" and it wouldn't have cost them much to include it. Lenny's disclaimer at the beginning of the concert is more than worth it.

* Perhaps a CD-rom with printable large versions of the liner notes from the original LPs.

Anyway, a dream come true for Glenn's fans. I might add that the sound (from what I have heard so far) is uniformly excellent. That should come as no surprise since Mr. Gould was very actively involved in the recording and engineering aspects of his work.

What next, Sony? Perhaps a big Bernstein box? A giant Szell retrospective? Ormandy? Mitropoulos? Walter's mono and stereo versions of his core repertoire? Stravinsky's complete MONO recordings, including the RCA masters? (that one in particular could be easily achieved since Sony and BMG are now one company. Ah, we can dream!

As for the Glenn Gould box. Buy it now! It's a very limited edition and if you shop around you will find that almost everywhere they are already charging much more for it, often more that double! Don't miss out on this. I don't think it can be done any better in the future. This is definitive. BUY IT NOW!!!
