I think he's about as wrong as it's possible to get.

I think sloppy suits music composed after Bach but not before. Apart from Gould and Tureck some of my favourite Bach is direct midi output, more often than not the performer and their interpretation just get in the way, music written after Bach is so bereft of ideas that you need a "performance" from the player just to cover up the vacuum at the heart of the music.
