Post Subject: Older Me, Later Gould Goldberg, and DominosPosted by Paul S on: 8/31/2016

I was listening in my car today to the Gould interview included in the classic '55/'81 "comparison" CD set. For some reason the information seemed very clear today, and when I followed up by listening through the '81 Variations I was quite taken with most of them, also the approach, in general. Some still sound to me as if Gould is mostly trying to prove something. Still, basically, the dominos fell, the fog of deliberate consideration lifted, and I simply "got" the Music via the playing. Also, I have to say I find the '81 to be "more mature" than the '55, just as Gould himself says.

Nice.
