and not knowing much about classical music other than I really like it, I went to a section called something like " 10 essential classical recordings" One of the recordings I got is The Glenn Gould Edition of Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier. Well his piano playing is indeed phenominal, inspiring, compelling, etc. But through the entire 2 cd's he is softly talking, grunting, and moaning. It sounds like Frankenstein got really good on his piano. I find it humourous on one level but ultimately it is very distracting.
Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?
I'd like to get more of his stuff but would like to know if he carries on this way on all his recordings.
Thanks,
Patrick
