Glenn Gould's recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations was much longer in 1981 than in 1955. He grew... generous. He left spaces inbetween the notes for them to breathe. In 1981, it wasn't about showmanship to leave no doubt on how well he could play, but rather, "Hey listen to this, it's a pretty piece of music isn't it?"

And it is. A pretty piece of music.
