Columbia originally hired the Bolivian-American violinist Jaime Laredo for this recording before asking Gould to play the piano part. The collaboration dovetailed so smoothly that Gould proposed further projects: the Grieg and Strauss sonatas and the two Busoni sonatas. Unfortunately, the recordings never materialized. I've created this aggregate of the 6 sonatas for violin and harpsichord for my personal use and I'm more than happy to share it with people that appreciate Glenn Gould's estatic interpretation of these ingenious pieces as much as I do. I've gathered the 25 movements into one video just so I don't have to download all of them one by one on my phone for everyday listening.
