Bach - "Aria da capo (from Goldberg Variations) played by Glenn Gould"
Under the thick blanket of rain, not still falling but all fallen, resting in heavy dollops over everything, slightly dripping, I hear a sound. It's distant, different, haunting. I squint my senses and listen closer, my face scrunched in search of recognition. A wind, some traffic, a flaw in life's recording. No, this is something else. I think it's a voice. A voice so buried, so hidden, that it speaks a certain kind of truth, a truth you only get when really no one's looking. I hear it moan and sway and rise and yawn, it's grey and wet and cloudy, lasting only as long as this day.

Posted by jessica at April 24, 2009 8:58 PMthank god you posted the '82 recordings, if this had been the '55 I would have been so, so annoyed. Not that the '55 are bad, far from it, but this photo suits the '82 so much more, and they are honestly my favourite of the two....
thanks Dan!
