[Leica] Never judge .. Gould/Mozart/ Gulda

[philippe.orlent at pandora.be (Philippe Orlent)]

Majestic indeed.
A beautiful dissection of the piece.
His piano playing is quite astounding: solid articulation (clavecin  
like), his touch is like for piano forte and still everything stays  
perfectly separated and within tolerance.
And he stresses what I like the most about Mozart: this light  
frivolity (waterfall like, can't describe it otherwise) combined with  
such earnest sincerity.

I ordered some of his work already.
Merci bucu,
Philippe
