Title: Stop that humming!
Product review: I had heard that this was one of the quintessential recordings of the Goldberg Variations, and that in combination with the 1955 recording one could truly appreciate the transformation of Gould and his appreciation, understanding and interpretation of the Goldberg Variations with age. All that is true.I had also heard that Gould hums with the music, but that the humming is not a distraction. He certainly does hum, but to this listener it is a tremendous distraction. He doesn't even hum on key! Either they should have explored tricks in the engineering to eliminate the humming from the recording, or they should have titled it "Glenn Gould Hums the Goldberg Variations (with piano accompaniment by Glenn Gould)."
