Glenn Gould a fost un pianist virtuoz canadian și compozitor, unul dintre cei mai remarcabili pianiști ai secolului al XX-lea, ale cărui interpretări ale operelor pentru claviatură semnate de Johann Sebastian Bach se numără printre înregistrările legendare ale literaturii muzicale mondiale. A câștigat patru premii Grammy.
Compilația Glenn Gould Plays Bach a apărut în 2012 la casa de discuri Sony Classical ca set de patru discuri cu 90 de piese. Include toate cele șase Partite (BWV 825–830), Fantezia cromatică și fuga (BWV 903), Concertul italian (BWV 971), fragmente din Arta fugii (BWV 1080) și o selecție de preludii, fugi și fantezii. Înregistrările ilustrează combinația caracteristică lui Gould între desăvârșirea tehnică și capacitatea de a articula textura contrapunctică a muzicii lui Bach.
