I am wondering if anyone has compared the two versions of the '81 recording and if this new edition has changed their mind on it if they originally didn't care for it.
Actually, the opposite -- I could finally hear certain dynamic things in the 1955 recording that I couldn't before. I had always thought that [1955] record was the less expressive of the two. It elevated my appreciation of Gould, which is something nobody around me would have thought possible. The 1982 is so amazing, tho. The way each successive movement rolls back over you, like the stone over Whoosis in Greek mythology... Damn. Glen Gould rocks. sh
