Re: [ARSCLIST] Glenn Gould and The Goldberg Variations (1955)

I am thinking that the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto #2 in the composer's
recording of 1929 was available all through the 78 era, but then was
transferred to LP on LCT 1014 (?)and later LM 6123, the 4 Concerti &
Paganini Rhapsody. It was out of print briefly IIRC until the complete
Rachmaninoff LP set of the 70s was released. If you include all the foreign
releases on LP and current or recent CD releases like BMG and Naxos, there
has hardly been a time when it is not been available.
