Nicholas Hopkins sticks around for another podcast to discuss his passion for Glenn Gould and examine Gould's two recordings of The Goldberg Variations. Gould recorded the piece first in 1955; world-wide acclaim followed. He rerecorded the piece in 1981, this time at half the tempo of the previous piece. Mr. Hopkins has spent considerable time analyzing the recordings and has arrived at some exciting theories. Here are hyperlinks to Nicholas' book and further info about these intriguing interpretations.
