Description:

[Sony Classical Masterpieces Collection 1000] These are the masterpieces of classical music that have moved the world for 100 years! From Casals to Midori Goto, Sony Music's two major classical labels, Sony Classical and RCA RED SEAL, have a wide variety of classical masterpieces, classic discs, super discs, fixed discs, lost discs, odd discs, rare discs, and treasures, including new liner notes and some world/Japan first CD releases, at an astounding price! The series of two separate releases for 1,000 yen plus tax (1,500 yen plus tax for the 2-disc set) will continue in 2016. This unedited live recording proves that Gould was a rare genius, coupling the "Goldberg Variations" from a recital at the Salzburg Festival in 1959 with the "Sinfonia in Three Voices" that he is said to have performed on an easy trip to Europe in 1957. This is a rare record of Gould, who has not performed on stage since 1964, when he could still be heard in concert. ◆Time Limited Edition (until the end of March 2018) / Liner notes / Year of recording: August 25, 1959 and May 7, 1957 / Locations: Salzburg, Mozarteum, Moscow
