reminds of The World At War for some reason

I like how the people use proper grammar and punctuation and capitalization in the comments. Go look at the comments of a Skrillex song, they insult and abuse the english language like nobodies business.

I was persistently against anything interpreted by Gould that wasn't Bach. I humbly retract my biased opinion after hearing this. It was deeply moving, even if not what Beethoven had imagined. Or did he?

Sublime.

This is not Beethoven, this is Gouldthoven. Every comparision of this pieces with those of other pianists playing Beethoven will be, consequently, fallacious

I am continually astonished and exasperated at how obtuse people tend to be when commenting upon Gould's peformances of any non-Baroque music. Yes, these performances are highly idiosyncratic, Yes, he takes enormous liberties.
What of it?
Is this in itself aesthetically blameworthy?
The only test of a work of art is whether it works.
Manifestly, this works.
