CD ReviewsStay away Scaffa | Sweden | 04/26/2009 (1 out of 5 stars) "If you are new to the Beethoven sonatas, you risk putting yourself off for life if you pick these renditions as your introduction.
Gould is much praised for his Bach pieces but he has not got the sensibility to play Beethoven (or perhaps he thinks, misguidedly, that he can improve on Beethoven). His main aim in performing Op 109 seems to be to reach the end in as short a time as possible. It is quite ludicrous the way in which he stumbles across the bars as if he is trying to set a new record for how fast someone can play this sonata. Also, if you are not familiar with Gould, you are in for another surprise: he hums and groans and moans throughout the performance. This is for Gould completists only - or for people who looks for confirmation of what they have always suspected: this pianist is overrated." |
