Query: good but not as good as the later recording

This is Glenn Goulds debut recording and it is understandable why he became as famous as he did. There is no doubt that this (at that time) young man had all it took to play even the most demanding pieces, but sometimes he neglects the the feeling and soul of the music. It's almost as if he was too eager to show everybody how good he was. I would recommend this album to every bach fan but I would buy the second recording Gould made of the Goldberg variations first. I believe it was recorded in 1975, it has far more soul.
