It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: I'm with you, Bill - I like it too - Don't they call it a "re-performance"? [nt] ;-)

They do call it that, but I don't like it. I think it misrepresents Gould's intentions because the sound of the Yamaha piano and the more generous acoustic in which the "re-performance" was recorded are quite different than the 1955 Gould original.

Also, I have some suspicions that "reperformance" wasn't as faithful as it was billed. On the Rachmaninoff Zenph "reperformance," a lot of rhythmic subtlety that you hear on those scratchy 78s is gone.
