Are there any other fans (or even detractors, feel free to chime in) of the Gould/Bernstein rendition of Beethoven's piano concertos? I realize this collection is hardly regarded at the canonized set, and I also own sets by Brendel and Lupu which are more "traditional" (although excellent), but for some reason I can't put it down.
I refuse to count myself as member of the Gould cult who praise his every recording, no matter how eccentric or offbeat, yet I find myself enjoying his collected works more and more. I'm talking about everything except his Bach here, which I regard as definitive.
I've also been giving his Mozart piano sonatas serious listening time, along with the Eroica Variations, 32 Variations on a Theme in C-minor, and the Liszt transcriptions of Beethoven symphonies 5 and 6.
Are there any other fans of Gould's non-Bach recordings here?
