That CD I mentioned will not knock anyone’s socks off, sound quality-wise.
I mentioned it as a CD of importance because it seems to be so rare and because it contains particular performances (of transcendent beauty) exclusive to it.
There are plenty of far more sonically excellent recordings of Gould out there if Gould is something you like.
The CBC Glenn Gould television show “Glenn Gould on Bach,” if I’m not mistaken, is the performance of Cantata No. 54 from which the CD’s recording (sonically limited but musically incredible) is sourced.
I would personally recommend watching this on YouTube. Gould’s oratorical acumen and intellectual profundity is highly rewarding to listen to in between the musical performances.
What is the VERY BEST CD album you've ever heard?
Just like with records, I came across releases on CD that were never popular, but bring lots of interesting music and so I started collecting CDs that do have collectible value for the reason of a great and rare music presented.
So far album "Sauce Hollandaise" by Ashra is on my #1 desirable list
"Best Band You've Never Heard In Your Life" by Frank Zappa is my 2nd best CD I've ever heard.
