Yes, wasn't it Gould who once said, "The problem with Mozart wasn't that he wrote too few works, but too many"? The man was definitely free with his critical bon mots.
Gould at turns trashed Mozart, Chopin, Debussy, Ravel, and the Beatles while championing Richard Strauss, William Byrd, Ernst Krenek, Barbra Streisand, and Petula Clark. Also, Mingus, Ritchie Valens, and a few others beat him to tape editing by at least a couple yrs. OTTH, I don't really wanna hear Ritchie do the GOLDBERG's. As for that re-release, I have a hard, fast rule about never buying anything more than three times. skip h
