The title page of the first publication of J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations tells us that this work was "composed for connoisseurs, for the refreshment of their spirits." Soul-nourishing music par excellence, the variations more than live up to this description: this late work, made up of some of the composer's densest and most difficult pages, represents a sublime synthesis of the greatest aspects of his earlier output. The third episode of Monsaingeon's series offers nothing less than Glenn Gould's final recording of the Goldberg Variations, for which he has been celebrated perhaps more than any other pianist of the last century—historic, awe-inspiring footage to watch, rewatch, and cherish.
