Everytime I listen to this, I can't help but think of "Silence of the Lambs." Hannibal enjoyed listening to this.
Well... I can't comment on the movie, or what the cryptic inference might be regarding Hannibal, but it is a blessing to the world that Glenn Gould was captured during this session. It is, arguably, the most important legit performance ever recorded.

It always figures that Hollywood with its obsession with the dark side and the revoltingly gruesome would choose to pair this sick figure with the music of Bach.
I walked out of that movie when it came out.
It's the last thing that I think of when I listen to this music.
Bach was a fine man and a molon labe fellow. When he went to Lübeck to study and hear the music of Buxtehude, there was no bus to catch, so he walked - 250 miles. They say he strapped on his sword for the trip as protection from highwayman.
In the movie, "The Silence of the Lanbs," the serial killer Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lecter is playing a recording of this music while he kills and multilates two cops.
The music should have never been used in the movie. Rap would have been more appropriate.
