The Canadian Glenn Gould (born in Toronto 25 September 1932 - died there 4 October 1982) was without doubt one of the most important pianists of all time. Even today, the idiosyncratic interpretations and the eccentric personality of the "James Dean of the piano" exert a continuing fascination.

So why bother with the Original Jacket Collection? There are two reasons: One, these new remasterings improve upon previous CD transfers; two, there's a bonus disc with rare material from the 1940s, featuring the New York Philharmonic, the Woody Herman Orchestra, and violinist Joseph Szigeti. This material is stunningly restored from the original laquers, and sounds amazingly vivid and full-bodied.
Stravinsky knew how his music should sound, and usually got the results he wanted. True, there are recorded interpretations of certain Stravinsky works that are slicker and better engineered. Few, however, match the authority and sense of occasion you get from the proverbial horse's mouth.
