Glenn Gould Plays Mozart Piano Sonatas 1965-1975 (4 CD)

This special 4 CD set features the music of Glenn Gould, who between 1966 and 1974 paid repeated visits to Columbia's New York studio to record the piano sonatas of Mozart. Often revelatory, sometimes quirky, but always stimulating, these controversial readings tell us as much about the performer's own endlessly fascinating musical mind and his conflicting attitudes to Mozart as they do about the composer's genius at the keyboard.
