Many abhor Gould because of his technical wizardry & for achieving mastery of Bach’s Canon before reaching adolescence. He spent much of his adult life re-envisioning the oeuvre until apotheosis in his personal and artistic maturation which translated to his playing with Bach as if in a profound recreational state. Ultimately, Gould’s joyful frolicking sends purists & the jealous alike into paroxysms of pettiness & revulsion. The ugly abhor beauty; especially in its innocent manifestations…

La purezza e il genio di Gould, il massimo interprete bachiano di sempre!

[Yves McDonald]

Yeah, this is great Gould, but I'm so used to the Baroque sound and the violin version (Pinnock & Standage - lovely!) that I find this too pompous and 'heavy' interpretation.

Purists live in a fantasy land in which their knowledge of the obvious makes them kings.

What you refer to as ‘aggrandising Gouldiphile pomp’. is respectful & ardent praise when mere adjectives fail to express what an exultant heart feels.

Many come to Gould after hearing everyone else & most stay for the ride, happy to glide upon wings of sonic flight that reminds them of how truly beauteous life is & can be… the shimmering notes mirroring the perfection of greater truths & deeper beauties within and around us.

For some, such as yourself perhaps, 'it is just a piece of music'...

[VladtheImpaler31]

That's a horrifying habbit of Gould's. However he is a great musician regardless.
