Subject: [F_MINOR] A Gramophone retrospective of GG
Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2004 13:06:06 -0500
Article by Rick Phillips surveying GG's career, etc. Pretty general.

Here's a part I hadn't known before:
"For his 1955 recording of the Goldberg Variations, he recorded all the
variations first, ignoring the opening theme. Then, when it came time to
record the theme, he laid down over 20 takes of it, trying to find the
right neutral character for it, that wouldn't give away the level of
involvement emerging later in the work. The opening theme used was take
21."
