On offer here a now Rare and Coveted, Pristine Columbia Masterworks Full Stereo Version (M 35144) of Glenn Gould's mature, masterly takes from 1979 on J.S. Bach's awe-inspiring Keyboard Toccatas (Vol. 1) wherein the composer plumbs all the depths and all the heights to which keyboard compositions of the Baroque era can extend and aspire. Even better, this is a Rare Promo Copy of Vol. 1 of Gould's Toccata project with crisp, pristine sonics revealing beautifully Gould's long fascination with J.S. Bach's most inspired and revelatory pieces of musical instruction and proper performance. As befits a Promo Copy, Disk here is First Edition and First Pressings. Under bright light, Disk appears flawless with both sides retaining very high-gloss vinyl. Disk Deadwax Machine Stamped 1H (Side 1) and 1AB (Side 2). White Columbia Promo Spindle Labels on Disk. Play Grading shows very quiet disk surfaces, lively capture of the recorded piano line, and Gould's signature lucidity in spinning out effortlessly the most intricate of intersecting musical forms.
