Glenn Herbert Gould (25 September 1932 - 4 October 1982) was a Canadian pianist who became one of the best-known and most celebrated classical pianists of the 20th century. He was particularly renowned as an interpreter of the keyboard music of Johann Sebastian Bach. His playing was distinguished by remarkable technical proficiency and capacity to articulate the polyphonic texture of Bach's music.

Gould was a true genius. Not very many of those left
It’s not the unfinished fugue, and it’s performed horribly, please stop the GG cult nonsense
maybe this is the solution for the completion of contrapuntus XIV, who knows... 😂😂
Even with the gaffe, no one has played the piano and Bach like Gould and no one ever will. The mark of a true artist and a beautiful soul.
Well, I think that’s strongly stated-how will we know if GG’s genius for Bach is ever surpassed?-but Gould’s technique allowed him to control the enormous resonance of the grand piano so that every single note of the beautifully intricate counterpoint is as clear as crystal, which is the whole point of listening to Bach’s music.
@@voraciousreader3341 I should've stated, in my opinion 😆
Total nonsense. Even offensive to musicians who really understand the music by Bach.
@artje123 How many of Bach's works have you recorded to a major label? How many true artistic musicians are your contemporaries?
@@erandolph84 how is that relevant to the discussion. You’re stating that nobody will ever play Bach like Gould. Just say that you worship Gould and many people will understand. I personally can’t listen (nor watch) any of his dreadful recordings, so I strongly disagree with everything you wrote. I now see that you added “in my opinion” later and now I can live with your comment.
Can you hear a commercial airliner taxiing?
The shorts-maker on Gould's channel is also a genius 😃
Brilliant idea to put two contradicting titles in one video (Contrapunctus XIV and Contrapunctus I) 😂
Okay so you guys made a boo boo. But I will say I love how Glenn performs the unfinished - he leaves it that way and perpetuates the beauty, the mystery, the wonder, the question of how it might have been if Bach had been able to do so. And if you do post Contrapunctus XlV, I think it would be better to post it in its incomplete entirety rather than in a short ❤🎉😊
uhhh who is running the gould account ? 🤦♂️
It even says Contrapunctus I on screen, on what planet does that sound like XIV?
How Gould accompaning without music score? I am amazed
From what I've read, he sang more if the piano couldn't make the music the way he wanted it to
❤
Неинтересный дуэт, это для меня полная неожиданность... Глен Гульд в этом качестве никакого впечатления не производит. А ведь я его как музыканта, пианиста боготворю!
Canadian Celebrities for $200, please Alex.
This is incredible...
It's an awesome production of music mirrored with Gould's unique styles, and which, very much appreciated.
Beautiful
💯
What a self-important twit.
Красава⚡️⚡️⚡️любимый пианист❤
Nut a good word for Him. ...
I love and respect Glen Gould as one of the finest pianist ever born and raised on our old planet, but being equipped with ears and brain able to testify the existence of such beauty as Sir Yehudi Menuhin singing from 14:49 til the end of the adagio "espressivo" with his marvellous instrument and gentle, maybe never witnessed again any more, astonishing talent, is something that always brings shivers or tear drops, Im afraid. And I know, listening to the respect Gould had answering with caution to these lines, that Beethoven himself also wished to hear both these great human beings.
12:44❤️❤️
Gould approach to Mozart was oriented more toward harmony and structure and in the last sonata he uses too accentuated staccatos which was his signature style of course, but what works in Bach doesn’t necessarily work with other composers. However, in my opinion best interpreters of Mozart use more legato in their approach, making his harmonious works sound smooth and ethereal, and less cerebral.
Ну вот нет слов😢😢😢❤❤❤
Потрясающе пронзительный пианист. ❤
Так пронзительно И.С. Баха не играет больше никто. Гленн Гульд навсегда❤❤❤
天才。聞いていて心地よい。
Anyone know which Steinway this was? Must have been a CBC standby easy to move into place, since it's not CD 318. The black keys look very faded. The action must have suited Glenn, though, or he would have rejected.
Не могу слушать других исполнителей вариаций. Они скучно играют.
❤❤❤❤👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 BRASIL 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ BACH,GLEN, DOG, YOU and ME GOD 🙏 🙏🙏 OsMARaviLHA 🏝️
Exactly the living copy of Bach
What a stupid statement!!!We can put it the other way.Why Gould became a bad piano player???I don't like his piano-playing anymore.Especially his playing of Bach music.Svjatoslav Richter plays Bach much better than him.Gould is just an eccentric.That's all.
GLENN GOULD. that's all
