Performers:
Glenn Gould - piano

The best and worst of Glenn Gould intermingle here. He brings off the three Op. 31 sonatas with pinpointed fingerwork, brash rhythm, and a kind of rakish defiance that lends itself well to middle-period Beethoven. His slow-motion caricature of the Appasionata's first movement, on the other hand, is a party record at best. The Op. 33 Bagatelles are delivered with more spunk and energy than the foot-dragging, enervated Op. 126 group. Sony's 20-bit "Glenn Gould Edition" transfers are slightly more focused and defined than the present budget reissue, which sounds perfectly fine in and of itself. -- Jed Distler
