His CD with the Beethoven Pathetique, Moonlight and Appasionata sonatas is
an awesome recording.
So are his Goldberg Variation recordings

Subject: [kl] Glen Gould
We had a famous piano player by the name of Glen Gould.
He was considered an expert on Bach and his recordings showed it.
He was a bit of a hypochondriac.
Always worried about the cold, he wore an overcoat in the Summer and wore
gloves.Did'nt shakes hands often (germs)
The story goes that one night he was talking to a friend on the phone.
The friend sneezed.
Glen Gould immediately hung up the receiver
tone technique and staccato
upbeat scales and arpeggios
eine kleine klezmer music
