This is a Google translation from the Japanese, I’ll leave it to you to consider what it means:
“…in order to reproduce the ultimate sound, remix & DSD mastering from the original analogue multi-track master, to release current as the best SA-CD hybrid is a spec ” Glenn Gould Original Sound · SA-CD hybrid series “. Remastering is, in the original Sony studio engineers, & request to Andreas Meyer who has worked many Gould remastered so far, Japan’s unique SA-CD hybrid will achieve.

I can’t stop playing it over & over — it entrains my mind as I write my poetry. I don’t hear him breathing at all. ~Norbert Hirschhorn on Amazon.

Amazon review of the CD by John Ferngrove:
I picked up a copy of these in my local charity shop for an outrageous 50p. It felt like such a steal that I ended up giving the lady an extra fiver towards her ‘Stop Human Trafficking’ charity. Genuine relaxation doesn’t come easily to me but these, over the course of 2 evenings, took me very, very close. I already owned 3 version of these famous works; 2 from Naxos for piano & harpsichord respectively, & another harpsichord set that was included with my Brilliant Classics Bach boxset. But Gould quite simply knocks all those into the compost. It is very rarely that pieces of such duration can hold my attention so absolutely riveted from beginning to end. Gould doesn’t just play the works, but enters into a personal dialogue with you the listener, walking ahead, pointing out each tiny detail worthy of note, slowing down the moment he sees you are tiring, speeding up when he sees your attention wavering. What he does seems more like clairvoyance than piano playing. These are such absolute treasures that I am even willing to put up with the donkey heard braying in the background. (Of course those familiar with Gould will know I am making a humorous reference to his idiosyncratic habit of humming along quite tunelessly when the inspiration gets the better of him. This may sound off-putting to the newcomer, but all who know him will assure you that this occurs at the threshold of liminality &, such is Gould’s genius, does nothing to interfere with the absolute revelatory pleasure of his performances).
Review of the SACD by oceanlinerlover on January 26, 2013:
There are no words to do justice to this great interpretation & great recording & great remastering job. While there are many good recordings, in my opinion, only Richter’s comes close to the beauty that Gould has created with this great piece by Bach. The remastering makes it sound like Gould is there with you in your listening room with you, playing your piano. This is a MUST-BUY at almost (!) any price. I paid dearly, but don’t regret it in the slightest. This new SACD remastering has finally at long last allowed us to really hear Gould as he played in the studio & concert hall. If you love Bach, if you love Gould, you should order this. If you love both, order it right now before supplies run out & this version will disappear or go to extravagant levels.
