[Magdalen] 60 Years Ago Today

[Charles Wohlers]

Well, if you want the original Russian LP, go here: 
https://www.discogs.com/artist/833035-Van-Cliburn, and then click on the one 
right at the top of the list. Helps if you can read Russian (I don't). 
Cheaper than from Amazon, too. Discogs.com, BTW, is an excellent place to 
get used LP's - better than Amazon.

I have the LP he and Kondrashin recorded in the US after the competition, 
but everyone has that. And the Glenn Gould Goldberg Variations I have is the 
1982 release.

Anyone interested should take a look at this CD:

It's the actual 1958 Moscow performance, with all the warts a truly "live" 
recording can give (including Cliburn's own fluffs), but I really think I'm 
finally gonna order it.

Note that the "Amazon" item is out of stock, but there's plenty of good 
Marketplace choices under the "used" and "new" options (some sellers of 
which have my utmost trust, having bought from them so many times over the 
years).

This thread also reminds me of the Gould Bach Goldberg Variations via its 
first issue under Columbia Masterworks, mono, 1955.  Some here might 
remember I digitised it years ago and gave copies to those that wanted one. 
Still stands as the most I've ever paid for a single LP.  But that 
particular one in near mint condition is virtually unheard of.  I gotta find 
where I hid that CD and .wav it over to my hard drive (original digital file 
long lost).
