Since they were supposedly written to entertain an insomniac, it's always seemed to me they could be taken more slowly overall than what the all the pros seem to do (to get them all on one CD?). Were I having a sleepless night, I'd rather them more over in the calm and peaceful range than the quicker ones being played as fast as possible to show off technique, sort of a gymnastic exercise. <br /><br />For me, there's also the issue of not really taking on board what the music's doing when it's so fast - sort of a brain processing issue - particularly with Bach's complexity.

An artist who doesn't show himself in public has a problem. He's so much off-target that you'd need a 747 to take him back". <br /><br />"I always found his Bach to be scandalously empty of whatever musicality, crammed with fantastic and meaningless inventions.

I'm going to order the Ross Goldbergs, and maybe listening will answer my question - do you know exactly why "he loathed Glenn Gould's playing?"Lyle Sanford, RMThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312150272934828223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-88175078547286391072014-06-13T18:32:34.601+01:002014-06-13T18:32:34.601+01:00A wonderful text about a wonderful musician.

By the way: I don't know if Ross was part of -or hhad any interest in- the so called gay leather community, but "the biker gear" of the Soler recording seems to emulate this kind of look -the one of a Mapplethorpe or a Foucault. Anyway, it's no more provocative than, say, the "hippy look" of the Rameau disc. And it lacks any importance when considering the stature of such a musician -and such an interesting person.
