Gould has some interesting live performances to be fair, but I really can’t wrap my head around anyone thinking this is the best Bach could sound like.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_3MVZfLReo0 …

Honestly use your ears, compare Gould to the ever expressive Feinberg (and the others in this video) and tell me who you prefer.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fWlTO93ZJf8 …
Feinberg attempts to isolate the notes he considers as forming the melody but I feel the melodic structure of this prelude included the inner arpeggio, not only the upper note & bass. In this sense I find his interpretation inferior to Gould's, who sounds everything, as always.
