Gould's Peculiarity

["BONG" <bong@iti.lt>]

How would you shortly (I don't reckon it's impossible) describe Gould's
peculiarity? What's so special about him? There are lots of pianists of
comparable skill. Maybe he was just lucky to occupy a niche that regular
pianists are afraid of occupying because they couldn't demonstrate as much
skill and earn as much money in it?

P.S. The critical tone of the message isn't really sincere as I do like most
of Gould's recordings.
