Z okazji 90 rocznicy urodzin kanadyjskiego pianisty Glenna Goulda i w 40 rocznicę wydania jego słynnego, drugiego nagrania Wariacji Goldbergowskich Bacha, Sony Classical ma zaszczyt zaprezentować po raz pierwszy pełne sesje nagraniowe tego legendarnego albumu.
Zestaw 11 płyt CD zawiera ponad 8 godzin materiału audio zarejestrowanego podczas sesji w 1981 roku, odrestaurowanego z oryginalnych 1/4-calowych taśm analogowych i zmasterowanego przy użyciu technologii 24 bit / 96 kHz. Nagrania sesyjne obejmują również rozmowy Goulda i producentów, z które zostały umieszczone w książce wraz z partyturą z adnotacjami.
