Previous CD releases of Schumann's Piano Quintet in E-flat major, op 44 missed a repeat in the first movement (track 5). Apparently this repeat was created by “copy and paste” in the LP production process and is now included in this edition.

In 1981, when Glenn Gould recorded his second set of Goldberg Variations for Columbia, digital recording technology was new and still in its infancy. As a precaution, many records were recorded simultaneously onto analogue tape at a time when professional analogue recording was at its peak. The remastered analogue version of the 1981 Goldberg Variations has been chosen for inclusion in this set.
