This release comes from one of the hardest-working and most respected pianists in the world today- Stewart Goodyear. Every album from Goodyear is released to widespread critical acclaim, and this one is sure to be no different. Goodyear writes of this release: It was the year Glenn Gould died when I first heard his legendary name. It was his Bach that introduced me to his playing. His sound struck me immediately... a sound that was compelling and uncompromising. It was not designed to speak words of mere prettiness, but of an individual truth... My decision to record Glenn Gould's program came right after performing it in Montreal. While playing homage to one of the great Canadian legends, I was being transported to childhood memories of growing up in Toronto, Gould's home town, studying at the Royal Conservatory, Gould's home alma mater, and being an artist from Canada, Gould's country. A phenomenon. (Los Angeles Times) One of the best pianists of his generation. (Philadelphia Inquirer)
