Bach: Inventions and Sinfonias

Product Description

The series of recordings Glenn Gould made for Sony Classical between 1955 and 1982 perfectly coincided with a period of innovation in recording technology in the American record industry, covering everything from the late monaural era to stereo and then to digital recording. In particular, his stereo recordings were recorded using the "360 sound," a distinctive stereo sound combining arrows and the number 360, characterized by a wide left-right soundstage. This clear reproduction further enhanced the unique charm of Gould's performances.

To reproduce Gould's most popular masterpieces with the ultimate sound, the "Glenn Gould Original Sound SA-CD Hybrid Series" features remixes from the original analog multi-track masters and DSD mastering, released as SA-CD hybrids, the highest specification currently available. The remastering was entrusted to Andreas Meyer, a former Sony Studios engineer who has worked on numerous Gould remasters, resulting in a Japan-exclusive SA-CD hybrid release.
