Re: Art of the fugue ? versions of cd?



    much piano/vs how much organ he plays in the different
    cd's as well, or are they about the same?

Everything GG recorded from the Art of Fugue has been put on the various
cd's.  (Going by the list of recording sessions in the back of the
Friedrich book.)  He did 1-9 on organ and that's it.  A variety on
piano, as has been discussed before.  All of them were included on the
Sony CD.

He did perform cp.6 (don't know the instrument, probably harpsipiano) on
the April 8, 1962 tv show, CBC-TV Sunday Music Series: ``Glenn Gould on
Bach.''  At least according to the NLC GG catalogue.  Annoyingly, every
other segment on that show was included on the GG video series
(Brandenburg #5, cantata 54, cp.4).  Argh.

With the advent of dvd's, it would seem a collection of all the gg tv
programs, uncut, might have some demand.  Anyway ...
