Hi friends,
i'm preparing my master thesis of musicology on the interpretation of
bach's keyboard music by glenn gould-comparative study of the goldberg
variations1955-1981.i've read all the interesting topics that you wrote
about the 2 goldberg and i'm wondering if anyone of you could tell me more
about the article that wanda landowska (or rosalyn tureck i don't
remember) wrote about the 1981 recording by gould.is there any translation
for the interview of gould and page (1981)in french(disc 3 of a state of
wonder)?

Well...Wanda Landowska and Roselyn Tureck were diametrically different people from one another...it's difficult to think of a pair of fine keyboard players who were *more* different than these two, in musical approach!

Anyway, it couldn't have been Landowska who wrote about the 1981 recording
as she died in 1959.  And there was a nice memorial LP of her by RCA, with
some of the three-part inventions (sinfonias) followed by Landowska's
spoken remarks introducing the two-part inventions, and then all the
two-part inventions on side 2.

As for a translation of the Page/Gould "interview", I don't know...but the
first 10+ minutes of it were originally published in _Piano Quarterly_
magazine in an issue from the early 1980s, soon after Gould's death.  It
was a plastic soundsheet to pull out and play on a turntable.
