A Zenph Re-Performance (Zenph takes audio recordings and turns them back into live performances, precisely replicating what was originally recorded. The software based process extracts and encodes the details of how each note was played, including musical nuances such as volume, articulation and pedal actions. The encoding is played back on an acoustic grand piano fitted with sophisticated computers and hardward allowing listeners to experience the performance as if they were in the room when the original was made.) "The piano produced sounds that were indisputably human and unmistakably Gouldian. The playing could not have come from any other pianist.

When the recording was released the American Record Guide headed its review with “The Record Début of Glenn Gould, a Keyboard Genius.” “A 1950s benchmark and a record that forever altered the way we hear Bach's Goldberg Variations, Glenn Gould's 1955 CBS recording, elegant and exuberant, a fast-lane excursion that occasionally pauses for thought… Naxos's excellent transfer is coupled with a confident Bach G major Partita.”
