I was sorry to hear of Gulda's death. It's just in recent months that I
have been getting into his recorded performances. I like his Well Tempered
Clavier very much - highly distinctive and artistic. I'll probably go next
for his recordings in the Philips Great Pianist series.
Speaking of that series, I initially thought that I wouldn't be acquiring
any of it, but I changed gears a little and I'm glad I did. So far, I have
the two Tureck volumes and the Yudina volume - they are terrific. How much
further I can go into this series is questionable since I'm now on a more
limited budget which I'm handling emotionally better than I thought I
would. I did all my worrying before my wife quit her job to devote her
time to THE dissertation. That's the way I generally process bad times
ahead.
