Bachtoberfest continues!
Catalyst Quartet members Karla Donehew-Perez and
Karlos Rodriguez talk about famously eccentric (eccentrically
famous?) performer and composer, Glenn
Gould, his recordings of Bach’s Goldberg Variations, and
Catalyst’s Gould-inspired arrangement of the Variations. Discussed:
breakfast, order out of chaos, and who this “Goldberg” person
was.
Music in this episode:
- “Aria da capo” from Gould’s 1955 and 1981 recordings, and from the Catalyst Quartet’s debut album, Bach/Gould Project.
- Goldberg Variations from Catalyst’s CD
Audio production by Todd “Triffid” Hulslander with ingenious biological meddlings by Dacia Clay and editing by Mark DiClaudio.
