Review title: Glenn Gould should not get a free pass
Product review: Ok. Glenn Gould *is* very good indeed (almost as good as Dong-Hyek Lim), but, all the same, he should not be given a free pass by his devotees. I will be the curmudgeon who awards the recording just two stars, not because of his (often eccentric but always interesting) interpretations, but because of his G-d d--n *humming*, for heaven's sake. Music is all about sound, and Gould's annoying and deliberate humming (especially audible in the 1981 set) spoils all his recordings. If the set was entitled "Sing Along With Glenn" I'd give it at least four stars, but it isn't titled that.I'm prepared to be awarded "0 out of 600 people found the following review helpful". But if you *don't* want to listen to Bach's sublime variations hummed, beware of buying this set.
