63. His humming kept me from appreciating his recordings for the longest...

Edited on Sun Dec-05-04 07:02 AM by libbygurl

...time, but when I really got into the 1981 recording, his humming ceased to bother me (this was reissued together with the 1955 version on a triple CD release a few years ago, to coincide what would have been his 75th birthday, I believe).

There's still an audible humming in the opening aria and a few other spots on the 1981 recording, but it doesn't last too long--much more tolerable than usual!

Gould's '81 version of the Goldbergs is never dull, and he forces you to see the structural beauty of Bach's work. Absolutely mesmerizing!
