Bach Toccata's

["Andrew Lance" <aklance@cyberhighway.net>]

Hi, I just subscribed to the group--I hope this topic hasn't been run 
into the ground...

I just purchased Glenn's recording of Bach's Toccata's, because I 
am learning the D Minor (BWV 913).  Is it just me, or are Gould's 
tempo's relatively unorthodox?   It seems to me, especially in the D 
Minor and the D Major, that the tempo's are excessivly slow.  
Nonetheless, Gould is my favorite player of Bach, and the 
counterpoint is brought out incredibly.  I just have never heard 
these toccata's performed by anybody else, so I don't know how 
the "mainstream" interpretation with regard to tempo's goes.  
Thanks!

Andrew
