Karl Miller asks: of me, re the Goldbergs:

>favorite performances?
Unquestionably I got started with the Gould 1955 version, which hit
the record stores my freshman year in college -- an impressionable time,
wouldn't you agree? -- and then I started learning to play it. Musically,
of course, it is endlessly fascinating.
Favorite performances? Depends on the day, but I still love that
original Gould as well as its 1981 version. I love Perahia, the very
recent Simone Dinnerstein (which has acquired, given the length of time
it's been out, a disparately large number of naysayers, to whom I say
'pfui'). One I love that no one I know has heard is by Bruno Canino.
Recently a friend told me he really doesn't like the work. I looked at
him with new eyes.
