Yes, a great CD.  But Gould has more mystery in the long slow mvmnt (is
it the Sarabande?) of BWV 828.  This is a favorite mvmnt in that it's such
great music yet so easy to play that even I can play it (esp.  at Gould's
tempo:)

Another great recording.  Glad to see it brought you back on the list.
When you add the Szell and Kubelik (both on Sony I think) sets to Goodman's
I think the Schumann symphonies are just about covered for eternity; it's
hard to see why any conductor would want to record them again in the face
of such competition.
