Review title: Good, but...
Product review: ...not as good as some other piano versions (in my opinion, of course) - notably Angela Hewitt's and Murray Perahia's. Of course, this an historic recording (or rather re-performance of an historic recording). The sound is brilliant and Gould's dazzling virtuosity is fully on show - and, joy, oh joy, without him moaning along! However, there is still the impression that this idiosyncratic interpretation is more Gould than Bach. Be in no doubt, for lovers of the Goldbergs, this recording is worth owning and we owe Glenn Gould an enormous debt of gratitude for rescuing this long-neglected masterpiece, but the reading has now been surpassed. This is a splendid, cleaned-up historical masterpiece and none the worse for that, but the art of Goldberg performance has moved on.
