Except for the fact that there are currently so many more Bach keyboard recordings than in previous generations, I can't see any basis for this claim. I've noticed in the stores that when they replenish the stock of Gould's WTC and Goldberg Variations, they're snapped up very quickly; this happens with no other artist. Concerning recent discussion about Gould having a cult-status and no wide-spread appeal, I think that label might apply to a pianist like Edward Aldwell (Nonesuch/Biddulph); Gould is way beyond cult status.
