I agree without your comments about Gould's Bach  'going round the bend'
in the seventies but I adore the Violin Sonatas disc with Laredo in that
I think this crazy re-creation of Bach worked . Had it been solo Bach,
I'd probably have gone insane listening to it. But Laredo provides a
foil, a counterpoint to the dissassociated (I mean in the psychological
sense) Gould. Hate to say it but being a violinist probably introduces a
significant element of bias, but that set is slated for my desert island.
