Dear James,
At work, I've been asked to download stuff by Bach to use as the temporary soundtrack for episode one. Being a huge classical music buff, you can imagine how easy this was. I did at least find out about Glenn Gould, who has an interesting story here. One thing you'll notice is that Gould had an irritating tendency to make noises while playing, something which reminded me of Keith Jarrett.
My old piano teacher tried to get me into Keith Jarrett, but I couldn't get past the grunting and the squeeking. I like to blame Jarrett for my failure to become a proficient pianist. Anyway, the search for Gould led me to this Lenny Bernstein number from West Side Story.
Nice.
