Karl Miller asks: of me, re the Goldbergs: >Do you know what it is that attracts you to this piece? Do you have >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.
