Marco Bardoscia
by Vincenzo Roggero
1. Johann Sebastian Bach, Glenn Gould, Goldberg Variations (Sony Classical, 1981). La musica di Bach è per me di grande ispirazione e in particolare questa opera monumentale interpretata da Gould. A volte mi capita di ascoltarne degli estratti prima dei concerti. 2. Miles Davis, Relaxin' with the Miles Davis Quintet (Prestige,1958).
