Description OK. Crazy Genius meets Crazy Genius. And it's musical party time! On offer here a near-mint first edition (Stampers 1A/1A) of Gould's curious foray into transcriptions of the mighty Richard Wagner. Simply amazing pianism that reveals at every turn Gould's own searching musical and expressive curiosity and super-abundant interpretive gifts. Listen and listen again as Gould eerily captures the essence of Wagner's awesome orchestral music via what cannot seem or sound to be--but is--a single keyboard. Outrageous! Complete here with special inner liner with transcript of Gould's CBC interview on encompassing Wagner via piano transcription. Wild! And be assured, all unsealed albums offered for sale at VSOV are rigorously inspected visually and are often play-graded as well. Nothing leaves this shop that does not qualify as Near-mint or better. I sell only the types of classical albums that I myself would certainly buy at once to add to my own cherished collection. Moreover, your purchases among our used, open, Near-Mint stock will be cleaned scrupulously before shipment to you using a brushed-on, custom liquid solution (primarily ultra-pure de-ionized water, a minimal percentage of 99.9% Pure Isopropyl Alcohol, and a fraction of surfactant to lift inner-groove dust and grime) and all albums are then further vacuum cleaned using a Music Hall wcs-2 Record Cleaning Machine. Your used purchases from VSOV will thus arrive to you immediately ready for near-flawless performance on the most exacting and sound-sensitive turntable home audio systems.
