	Bach: The Goldberg Variations »rank: 5506 by: Johann Sebastian Bach, Glenn Gould 0ur opinion: essential recording:The clear-cut rhythms, riveting articulation, and contrapuntal acumen of Glenn Gould's 1955 debut Goldberg Variations characterize this 1981 remake to strikingly different results. This later version is more deliberate in pacing, stark in expression, thoughtful with ornamentation, and tightly organized (if a mite theatrical) in terms of tempo relationships. Whereas there are no repeats from 1955, Gould now observes 'A' section repeats in the canons, the Fughetta, and other fugue-like variations.

	Sergei Rachmaninoff: Vespers (Mass for Unaccompanied Chorus) »rank: 11638 from: Telarc 0ur opinion: :lf those Gregorian chant discs seem a little, well, limited lately, perhaps it's time to move on to something equally spiritual but a bit more harmonically interesting. This disc, well-performed by the Robert Shaw Festival Singers, and conducted by the legendary choral leader, features a ravishing score by Rachmaninoff and is sung a capella, as is all 0rthodox church music. (For a heartrendingly beautiful number, listen to the second cut, 'Blagoslovi, Dushe Moya,' or 'Bless the Lord, 0 My Soul.') Along with well-tuned choral singing, ...
