I was fortunate to see heard in concert playing the
entire WTC Books 1 and 2. Completely unlike Gould. I have only
her recording of the WTC, some of which is very, very good. Her WTC
is highly "nuanced," for want of a better term, perhaps too controlled or
preconceived for my taste. Gould's WTC is sometimes playful,
sometimes serious, always analytical.
