Considering that final movement is marked "allegro", I think the Gould recording is MUCH too slow. Had it been an inner movement of the sonata, or marked "allegro non troppo" or "andantino", I might have agreed with the tempo.
Remember that this is Beethoven, not Mozart.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
