Glenn Gould's recordings of Johann Sebastian Bach's Goldberg Variations are among the most celebrated in classical music history. Gould recorded the work twice in the studio, and these performances bookend his career, illustrating a profound artistic evolution.

Glenn Gould's recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations is one of the most famous classical piano albums ever, launching his career with its dazzling clarity and unique interpretation in 1955, contrasting sharply with slower styles, and later he recorded a more expansive, reflective version in 1981, both becoming iconic, defining the work for generations of listeners.
