I don’t even remember the name of the CD. I bought it without knowing who Gould was. His “interpretations” are what turned me off. I was expecting the more normal classical tunes. I’m not much into the experimentations of some artists. I probably didn’t give him a fair chance.

You have to be careful with Gould. He disliked Mozart and played the sonatas in a deliberately offputting manner (Alberti basses drowning out the melodies...everything played stacatto).
