Rating metrics: Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)

This album has a Bayesian average rating of 70.4/100, a mean average of 69.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.2.

What can I say, I might be a bit biased, but I believe this is one of the peaks and high points of my musical journey this far. Saying it is some of the best music I can think of doesn't seem like an exaggeration. It's basically a job well done, a composer who cared for this craft and worked endlessly throughout his life. And a pianist who played with the same intent and drive: it's almost scary, how magnetic and serious Bach's music is.
Ok, you get the point. :)

what an extraordinary composition and recording. it is as demanding as your attention to it- the more you listen the more you hear.

Bach. What more can I say? A collection of solo piano works that is relaxing and a nice work to listen to while reading. Glenn Gould does it marvelously, and the whole piece moves like clockwork.
