Bach / Robert Veyron-Lacroix, 1961: Little Clavier Notebook of Anna Magdalena Bach (Complete) -
In this 1969 recording, released in the US in 1970 on the Deutsche Grammophon label, Wilhelm Kempff performs JS Bach’s Goldberg Variations, BWV 988. I created this video from the LP shown above, serial number 139 455.
This work was composed 270 years ago.
Generally speaking, I rely principally on images of the the LP and LP jacket in order to remove any doubt about the provenance, as well as to document the authenticity, of historically important recordings such as these. (Billboard magazine review appears at 8:47; LP jacket, 9:22, LP label side 2, 34:14; detail from jacket reverse, 40:06.)
