Well he was no good at Bach, and he hated: Beethoven, so is Gould any better in other reperyoire?
I rather doubt it, he was the original musical narcissist ....
One of those media hyped pieces of pure fluff ...
Pete Yorn "Arranging Time"

Heritage by Opeth
(2012)
Not listened to this in a couple of years so I'm getting reacquainted.
One of my all time favourite artists Jimmie Spheeris an official Live recording from his 73 tour.

Oh my goodness, George, you are a Gould-less person. No need to be so harsh.

For me, Roxy's best album. I have a mirror-style picture of the album cover hanging in my shed.

(1973)
One of the Definitive Edition Remasters from around '94/'95 that are very good indeed.
Patty Griffin "Servant Of Love"
The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out
On Vinyl
Part of the Jazz at 33 1/3 publication. A good way to get into Jazz if like me you are a complete novice. Every album has been very good regarding the quality of the pressing and the music has been very good. Enjoying this part work a lot.
On vinyl...
