RE: [F_minor] Glenn Gould

[Singh <k_dawg71@hotmail.com>]

The only evidence for what I have said that I know of, is in the Penguin Guide, where Glenn Gould's recordings (although mentioned) frequently rank below other pianists renditions of the same work. Sometimes even strikingly so. For example, his 1982 Goldberg Variations was given 3 stars out of a possible 4, but two of those stars were questionned in the text below the rating. His inventions I think were similarly dealt with.
