Gould's recording of Chromatic F&F bwv 903
on: June 21, 2007, 07:13:08 PM
Did Gould ever record the Fugue portion of this work ? I seem to have purchased two recordings of this piece by Gould; both have the Fantasy part - neither has the Fugue. And if he has recorded it, which album is it on ? Thanks a lot.

Glenn Gould never recorded this fugue.

Best wishes

That really... really... sucks. I love his chromatic fantasy. I ought to dig up his grave and demand an explanation.
