Your favorite musical performances

[pacfan]

Like most pianists I've fawned over Glenn Gould since I began playing. He was a strange little fellow but he could sure play the hell out of a piano.

I prefer his 1981 Goldberg variations recordings over his 1956 recordings. He slowed it down a bit and played with more UMPH. Maybe my favorite performance!

Yes, my favorite as well and I have both versions. His crisp and rhythmic staccato style is makes this performance very enjoyable to the ears. Definitely, this is one of few classical performances that clearly stands out. Even non-classical music lovers would probably enjoy this recording. Try it, the nice rhythmic flow would please your ears.
