Re: some Gouldian Schubert & Scarlatti
Bradley, thanks for the detailed messages concerning P. I'm sure I'm not
the only member of f_minor that appreciates your in-depth analysis.
Just so everyone knows where I stand, I would never give up Gould's English
Suites for P's, and agree with Bradley's assessment that Gould in his
version seems to be having a much better time than P does. I can't think of
a more joyous piece Gould recorded than the Second English Suite. It's one
of my favorite pieces by him. Compared to Gould, P does sound a bit
mechanical, but hey, I still find his version more interesting and more
Gouldian than Schiff's rendition.
I probably should admit that I find Ligeti's Mechanical Etudes interesting
too. What's wrong with listening to sewing machines every now and then. :)

Which ones should I look for?
