Another GG sighting - string trio arrangement of Goldbergs dedicated to GG

[Bradley Lehman <bpl@umich.edu>]

There's a new recording of the Goldbergs by the Amati String Trio, Columns
Classics 99564.  They use Dmitri Sitkovetsky's arrangement, the one that's
"in memoriam Glenn Gould" from 1984.  Nice.  This was many years before his
string orchestra arrangement.  Some of the articulations are based on the
1981 GG recording....

Sitkovetsky himself has also recorded this string trio version: in 1984
with Causse and Maisky (wow, there's an all-star lineup!), on Orfeo LP 138
851.  Also a good recording.  That one had the wonderful bonus of including
the score of the arrangement.  When that got rereleased on CD, the score
was no longer included.  "Helas!"  Not that the CD version is available
anymore, anyway.  "Ay, caramba!"

Or, in the words of Vonnegut (and echoed by GG), "So it goes."

How many Bach arrangements have been dedicated to GG?  This; the
Frackenpohl (Canadian Brass) Art of Fugue; ...others?
