Re: some Gouldian Schubert & Scarlatti

["Bradley Lehman" <bpl@umich.edu>]

p.s. My copy of the new Scarlatti disc (18 sonatas) arrived today; similarly
excellent!  Once again Swartzentruber brings out with extraordinary clarity
the compositional structure of the music.  Apollonian playing that
illuminates the counterpoint and the form.  Plenty of fire, but also a
remarkable poise and serenity.  (Almost identical tempo but broader serenity
than GG in the one piece that both have recorded, the gentle D minor sonata
K. 9.)

And Glenn Gould is mentioned in the notes:
