[F_MINOR] Goldberg, Gould, Lehman

[Karl Berry <karl@FREEFRIENDS.ORG>]

Issue 34 of the Goldberg magazine is a special issue dedicated to Bach.
Most of the articles and interviews are about the vocal music, but there
is one article on the Goldberg Variations, by Richard Eggar, a
harpsichordist.  He mentions GG in the first paragraph (and throughout):

  ... we are today faced with a conception of [the GVs] by both players
  and listeners alike that is absolutely and inescapably affected and
  effected by Glenn Gould and his performances on the piano.


Later on, he has glowing words for our own Bradley Lehman's proposal for
Bach's tuning system, I gather to be published in Early Music magazine
later.  I think he used it for his recording of the GV's (on hpsi).

There's also a list of 50 recommended recordings of Bach works, which I
found pretty interesting, and (most fun) Hille Perl's choices for 10
desert island discs: Musical Offering, Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, Arvo
Part, Bela Fleck, and more :).

Below is some more info that was posted to bach-list@listserv.uh.edu
