The Goldberg Variations

This documentary is part III of the series "Glenn Gould Plays Bach" and runs for 58 minutes. It features Glenn Gould in a sound studio as he records Bach's "Goldberg Variations." Gould shares memories from his first recording of the pieces and discusses his motivations for revisiting them 25 years later.

As this was Gould's last recording of the "Goldberg Variations" and he passed away the following year, the film provides a poignant look at his relationship with this composition. Collectors of music documentaries and fans of Gould will find this film an important exploration of his artistic journey and his interpretation of Bach's work.
