Both performances are unlistenable. One is deafened by Gould's lupine ululations, howls, screeches, grunts and indeterminate wails. I imagine the ivories were badly scratched come the end of the recording sessions: may those undead Steinways rest in peace.
Worse still, the Ghoulster makes Bach sound as percussive as Bartok and as perky as Hindemith. If Johann Sebastian Bach would not recognise this mighty creation of his, it's aint Bach.
The shallowness of the recording in each instance only adds to the torment of the listener.
