Which Leonhardt? He has recorded Goldbergs three times, apparently.  I only
have the second (1960s) recording (now available on Teldec), and although
it's very good, I can't get used to the slowness of some of his tempi.
Is this the one you are talking about?

In Goldbergs on harpsichord I prefer Gilbert's to Leonhardt's, although
only by a slight margin.
