djprobed,I am a big fan of Gould's playing and enjoy it enough to listen past the humming- more or less in the way I tune out the surface noise of LPs. In fact as I mentioned in the post below, I got to appreciate it as the human presence in his recordings. For some reason it makes that perfect, studied playing more personal.
It's been a curiosity to me whether those around Gould - esp. record producers- ever took him to task for the humming. It was commented on consistently through his whole career, though barely present on the 1955 Goldberg Variations it did get worse.So many performers make dramatic movements and noises- and probably unaware in their intensity. I think their concentration on the music just obliterates every other consideration. Early on, Bartolli was almost unwatchable in those strange, twisted expressions and Richard Goode likewise can resemble a beached fish being tortured. Remember the Bernstein Hop levitating over the platform? Igor kipnis can be heard breathing on most recordings. Of course in the jazz world everyone is talking all time.
I don't know- I hate audience noises at concerts, but the musicians' noises are part of the experience.
Cheers,
