This piece has not been played as this tempo ever and with this intensity, I guess, for last 275 years and another 275. We are living in the golden age at least about Bach.

Evidently, this small-minded individual considers secondary voices as a novelty. How else could his POUNDING them out be explained? Genius? You people are brainwashed. This is a deranged spectacle and nothing else.

Not right.

Born the same year as I was 1932 , but died in 1982 @ the young age of 50 yrs. I am still here to enjoy his fantastic piano playing. 🎹

I never get tired of listening to this & to see GG giving such beautiful smiles! A Canadian genius, undisputedly!

😂Quand deux génies s’additionnant!! !

I think his transcription is quite literal, he replaces the entire orchestra with the piano, for me it is SPECTACULAR. Of course, we could not expect less from such a magnificent artist.

Amazing.

Daría todo el dinero que tengo para cambiarme por Sr. de las gafas durante lo que dura el preludio

Потрясающее интонирование в голосоведения и слышание длинного звука, обеспечивают идеальную полифонию. Преклоняюсь!

His genius is on display here for us all-unorthodox, profound, beyond comprehension.

humbling

Big dick glenn (ask his wife, not me) standing on business

Very emotional and expressive performance indeed❤

I couldn't care less about his idiosyncratic ways; just listen. It's beautiful.

I feel sorrow, loneliness, melancholy, and recollection of the past. The beauty and spirituality of the music is revealed when it acknowledges all of those feelings, and provides a mellow intimacy of gratefulness, contentment, and companionship. Life-affirming and celestial are my best descriptions of this masterpiece

..Once started playing Bachs mus. A true musician can ‘hear’ the development of a piece, in advance, just like Bacah himself quickly telling when his pupils rehers. In Bachs audience, back in the yrs, were on a ‘wrong path, and adviced this and that in response, like this Fuga shows… at least it did for me, on my first playing etc 👌 G Gould is somewhat inconsistent in hies interpret. Reagarding the comp. Intent… 🎶🎶🎶🎶

Absolute chills hearing this version and seeing the emotion that Glenn pours into it.

Magnifica interpretazione della mia fuga preferita.

His groans ruined mein Meistersinger :(

Beautiful music.

Grazie

Ich kenne keinen besseren Bach-Interpreten als Glenn.

I bet Glenn Gould record sales were higher per capita in Westchester County in the year of my birth than in Toronto.

Everytime im driving in my truck and Die Meistersinger comes on the Radio i always turn it up full volume and exclaim "Meistersinger?...what else!"

The name Glenn Gould alone sends his fans into raptures. Objectively heard, this interpretation is as bad as a piano student would play it after a few years of lessons. Such a one would be favorably accepted with the words "Well done". I cannot understand the (only subjective) liking. Moreover, Gould's gestures and facial expressions are extremely strange and take some getting used to. Possibly these are perceived as "ingenious"...? (;-)

Welch eine schöne Musik! ❤

Hilarious-this mischief;" Nespresso-what else?!"

and no ritardando and no accelerando either!!

Fugue subject sublime. Continues in similar vein until about 2 thirds in. Then starts to ramble. Lose proportion. This affects the whole. Bach knew exactly what he was doing and knew what went with what but it is exactly that knowledge which suggests an auto pilot at work so a lack of inspired sounds especially after the 2nd third. A tendency to restate not only tonic key but root note of tonic key taking much from a sense of variety almost usually present in bachs work. It can not be compared to the opening chorus of Matthew passion for example which is more inspired with sense of proportion and the all important variety and much more evident beginning middle and end whereas this is a smush

Creepy

There is nothing like a a great artist, a master in his craft, that at the same time knows how to strike a pose.

Мощь. Подборная лопата должна сдвигаться с места и спонтанно подлетать на расстояние, примерно, одного метра. Вымпел должен трепетать в лесах и солнце освещать земноводных.

Melodious songs.

Hideous - to look at and to listen to. 😄

Really like to see how Glen deeply melt into the music while playing the piano

The sound of genius to the max.

La musica dei Meistersinger è talmente bella e cantabile che si può gustare anche senza l'orchestra con il pianoforte suonato da un grande artista.

fuck sake,just play the notes son

I could listen to this endlessly! ... Let's invade Poland, now

Strangely perhaps, Gould's interpretation has a distinct ring of this composition's original authenticity, because Wagner stressed time and again the melodiousness and singability of his music, particularly Meistersinger. The same service was performed by conductors like Furtwaengler, Mengelberg, Golavanov, Stokowski, et al.

Very expressive

I would really love to know his reasons for beginning this piece with the right hand.

Listening to this deep music,I close eyes eyes and feel myself in some other world,a very strange world.

헤응ㅇ

wonderful!

SUBLIME!

glenn recorded honest: piano and voice

With Gould none of his mannerisms seem fake. I'm sure Beethoven was a bit weird to a lot of people as well. Thank God for weird people.
