I apologize for responding to this when the subject
is already passed. I have listened to a great many performances, both for
pleasure and as a means of learning and finding my own voice on the piano. For
me Gould’s performances are endowed with a great deal of emotion, sometimes it
is so much it hits me with the force of a ten ton truck, and at other times it
is like rain or dust.
I agree. Many musicians seem to think that
music needs to be dripping with sentimentality. For me, Glenn Gould
is right on the mark.
