This is a magnificent collection of Gould’s work. The boxed set is the in itself superb – a cloth covered, very sturdy box with all the CDs and DVDs well numbered and marked for easy retrieval. The recordings are grand and offer such a wide range of Gould’s carefully prepared recordings. One must be a fan of him to spend this much money perhaps, but if you love this take on Bach, the set will be a treasure. I look forward to years of listening pleasure from this. The text accompanying the recordings is also hard-bound and offers useful information. Someone spent a lot of care in designing this set of recordings. A library could well use this edition as well. The individual CD wrapper covers and end notes are taken from the original LP vinyls and one needs reading glasses to read the fine print, but preserving the original adds to the feel of the work.

It would be difficult to assign enough stars to this set. The coverage is magnificent, encompassing Gould’s entire career and the individual recordings are pristine, perfectly revealing Gould’s precise and exacting approach to Bach. Because of this breadth there are duplicates of several pieces, including at least 4 Goldberg Variations, from different stages of his career, including the notable 1954 and 1981 recordings. It is fascinating to examine these back to back to see how his interpretations evolved over time. The pairings for both the sonatas and concertos are excellent as well. And the pricing reduces to near-unbelievable per-disc price. An accompanying book includes liner notes and several additional articles. There are also several discs with interviews which are very revealing of Gould’s approach to the music (and life as well). If ever there were a set to take along to a desert island this is it and you’d never be bored.
