Con 60 años y habiendo cultivado toda la vida la música, caminaba una tanto bajo de evocación y capacidad de emoción hasta que oí a este intérprete que rescató mi capacidad de emoción percibiendo con nitidez el colorido de la interpretación parcial de cada bloque melódico, perfectamente sincronizado con los otros para mayor gloria y pleno colorido del conjunto. Un prodigio de sincronización. Ahora tengo 81 "calendarios" y me "chuto" con J.S.Bach

I agree. I had conversation with someone about Glenn playing or not playing the Piano instead of Harpsichord, etc, etc. I think the Piano, the way Glenn plays it, in his hands, it is even better, and the way you can hear the full bass lines, the different voices, parts, it is great, poetical, and the mood he expresses, in Bach Fugues, or any tune he wrote, gives to me the idea , the feeling was just the Bach intending to feel, if I made meself clear.

When the Earth meets Heaven it is because Gould is playling Bach... 🎶🎼❤️

I have no formal musical education, but this captivating performance is a supreme example of why I’ve been hooked on classical music for decades: unsurpassed depth of mind and soul.

لا مرت الايام والسنين والعقود برجع اسمع التسجيل هذا وبشعر كأني اسمعه لأول مرة لأني كنت ولا زلت اسمعه كل يوم كأني اسمعه لأول مرة

i must concur there....like when he was great, nobody could compare. they knew too. The entirety of the Moscow music scene...Richter, Gilels, Ashkenazy, Lupu, Neuhaus...was at his performances in 1954. It's like they came away realizing they didn't really know how to play the piano or something. The most storied institution in classical piano changed because of what he did in those shows. "A miracle is happening" is what they told their friends when they all mobbed the phones at his first intermission.

This is hands down the best performance I've ever heard of this concerto

En ce qui me concerne, il n'y en a qu'un seul qui interprète Bach sur piano à merveille, et c'est Glenn Gould. Il est insurpassable pour moi. Merci infiniment et salutations de Montréal.

Every time I hear the Andante I can’t help feeling Bach was grieving, not self pity but true grief. I know he buried a lot of his children.

Gould burst onto the scene, already a legend. A shooting star. RIP

Glenn Gould possesses something which is a mix of talent and passion and the way that he sways to and fro during his performance is very peculiar indeed. It looks as though he is spellbound by the artistic power of the music that he is playing.

This G minor, more than any other except maybe Brandenburg #2, has been with me all my life, and the older I get, the more it digs deep. And although I've heard Mrs. Hewitt play it dozens of times, Glenn Gould's interpretations are always riveting.

Бах играл на инструменте ударно-щипкового звукоизвлечения. Звук был резче и бедней по динамическим оттенкам. Звук, извлекаемый из современного ф-но в тысячу раз богаче. Но главное, что тем же "ударным" звуком он играет и более поздних классиков. Что-то воспринимается, что-то нет. Но, встав на свою колею, Гульд уже не мог с неё сойти. Рекомендую послушать, как он играет 30-ю сонату Бетховена "для себя" и - "на запись". Во-многом он погубил себя.

Про сложнейшую задачу разделения голосов вообще молчу.

the Goldberg variations by Bach and played by Glenn Gould is simply out of this world! I fully agree that Gould is the best interpreter of bach's piano (harpsichord) music, pure baroque

I can't find the superlatives that would fittingly describe this. Beautiful.

This was an easy gig for Gould. There’s not much that can go wrong with talent like his. Bach’s music runs itself all fundamentals being met. Baroque music is after all more about the writer than the performer. I love how he adds bottom octaves on the piano. Not dismissing Gould at all but something like the 48 or the Goldbergs are where we really see what he can do.
