In fact no. I'm so used to the idea of Bach's music towering above other music
that it's more pleasant for me to think about Gould as "primarily a Bach
interpreter". I simply don't want his heart to belong to Schoenberg as Bradley
states. "The best pianist playing the best music" could be one of my slogans and
I'd mean Gould+Bach :)

Not surprising knowing the percentage of classical CD sales among all CD sales
:)
