Bagatelles - Right On !
I agree totally with prof. Poli of Milan who rates the Gould's Bagatelles as equal to the 1981 Goldberg recording and with Mr. Sand who celebrates the "happiness and funloving-ness" of that same 1975 recording. In fact, Gould attains, in his interpre- tation, levels of immagination and energy makes Kempf's and Brendel's sound quite mundane.
In 1976 I purchased a copy of the Gould Beethoven Bagatelles
from Montreal International Music Store. After listening to it, I rushed out and bought a second copy in case I ever scratched the vinyl. Now, 25 years later, I still have the sealed virgin 12" LP. It is a artifact from the days when Gould was still among us. I may be persuaded to let it go a deserving party . DMS
