I don't know about that, from what I've heard Canada has its share of corruption. Although its clearly not as ingrained and profuse as the corruption we face in the U.S. A feature of life does not exist in this land that has escaped the debilitative wrath of capitalism. From the arts, to the very food we eat, to our representatives...everything has withered away into nothing more than an illusion of those principles which we supposedly hold at high esteem.
@soaringvulture So true. The one thing I love about Gould's playing is he seems to say " well this is how I want to play it right NOW...but everyone is free to do their own thing etc..." To me he is the most gracious and giving of musicians, art is really fun instead of artificial status mongering with him, one of the reasons I think Bach sounds like Bach when he plays it rather than X's version of Bach.
@Dan474834 Canada has nothing to apologize for, they actually have one of the most functional societies in the western world, one in which people actually matter. Unless you believe the US propaganda.
Sadly, the quality is very poor.

This Gould towards the end - pure genius, pure magic!

That execution certainly extracted a pleasing sigh from God himself.

Who the cuckoo is Jean-Sébastien Bach? Some brother of Johann Sebastian who stole the sheet music?

As usual, impeccable technique and phrasing. But, the interpretation is, for my taste, too nervous and romanticized.

@Malaka57 of course Krebs translates to the Latin Cancrizans which in counterpoint refers to a fugal subject played backwards.
