this is wonderful

24:04 "We should have rehearsed this before". A prophetic statement!

You don’t have to be a pianist to appreciate Gould both as a musician and lecturer. He was stimulating on both counts. And I notice that no one else has commented that Gould greatly admired Schoenberg for his compositional skill notwithstanding the fact that the piano was not featured.

Canada is proud to have Gould as a wonderful musician

Hi Bruce, not sure if you still look at these comments or whatever but love this archive so so much, so grateful to you. Would you know anything about Gould's private home tapes and recordings? Or where they are? Anything? lol Anyways lots of love, thanks so much. Also - are the dubbed in better versions of the music selections the same recordings as Gould's original selections, just better quality sound? Very interested to know what recordings he enjoyed listening to.

bruce your channel is such a gem i hope it exists forever on youtube kind greetings and love from vienna

Very very interesting. Thanks

Truly a great video. Thank you

Amazing control of voices like there is a piano duo and sometimes trio playing

O, but what Fun he was having…

This helps me sleep better

He plays everything like Bach.

I love GG. But. He is butchering Mozart here. Why do that?

🙏🙏🙏

When they opened this up with an advert, for some reason I still got mad at KZbin

A lovely tribute to Beethoven fifth symphony

Great intellectual discourse

A fascinating man, one of God’s finest creations! I would have loved to know him!

Too slow makes it absurd and mars the profundity.

Actually very epic playing, all the comments are wrong

epic

It was always obvious that he was a powerful mystic. His deep mysticism shines forth in his music, if possible even more today than when he was alive on this planet. He and all of his abilities and innate kindness are a lasting gift to this world and to the universe itself.

grazie di nuovo

The Hummel cadenza does not fit the Mozart, but it's so exciting that I don't mind in the least

In my opinion, one of Gould’s best recordings and an all time great piano recording in general (of which Gould has several)… Gould’s vision, construction, and execution here are impeccable. From the first measure, Gould sets out with a clear artistic goal, and that Goal is more than surpassed as the coda rings out! Just fantastic stuff and thank you for the upload with the score!!!

He could have played the fugue at a slower tempo. It's his choice to play it at a breathtaking pace and still didn't skip a beat with the trill passages. Yes he's playing his vision of Beethoven rather than what the score dictates. But it makes it even more convincing.

This sounds like one of his scripted interviews.

One of the few interpretations where the artist takes the time to let the music come alive in this Sonata

This is kinda terrible lol

❤

the 2nd is a perfect movement for Gould with the accompaniment being so significant

Chapeaux bas. Un chef d'œuvre.

2nd movement - so sublime.

Oh he really really didn't like that middle european mentality did he?!

Whats he playing at 3:58 please?

Thank you. 🙏❤️🌍🌏🌎🌿🕊🎵🎶🎵✨️💫✨️💫

Hi Bruce, do you know if Chemins de la Musique is available anywhere online? I would love to watch it

People talk about atonaliry, 12 tone music, serialism. Whatever. Its all fine. However what I have always found a oroblem with romsntic, post romantic and later music that keeps a lot of this is it soinds psychologically unstable. Its like a musical representation of a raving lunatic. One second calm and serene then about 2 srconds later going wild and expansive, then back again. Imagine some talking or behaving like this. I once asked a person who was not interested in 'ssrious' music why he wasnt't and he replied that it was 'bombastic'. I would go further and say a lot of it is an artistic representation of personal, spiritual and finally perhaps political megalomania.

We are blessed this buffoon never conducted seriously.

One thing I do understand completely is why some critics could be so annoying and snobberish about his immovable spirit transcending beyond words. No wonder he quit touring and chose North with nature with illuminating sounds. Brilliance of genius. Undoubtably, we all are only human with all our frailty and courage as one moves cultures of beyond history, embracing each moment as we are only here seconds and inches. Live your passion without self-interest of motives. Bravo, Glenn Gould 👏 🙏❤️🌎🌍🌏🌿🕊🎵🎶🎵🎶💫✨️💫✨️💫

Mr. Gould's playing piano. I can hear him singing anyway with all the notes he is playing. 🙏❤️🌎🌏🌍🌿🕊🎵🎶🎵🎶💫✨️💫✨️💫

As I listen to the voice of Glenn Gould about his artistry and that of others. There is always a neiges d' anatan as contagious as the stars uninterrupted shining all in his soul, never stagnant but moving ceaseless of an explorer of life, art and beyond the consciousness of the known and and uknown. Bravo 👏 👏 👏 👏 🙏❤️🌎🌏🌍🌿🕊🎵🎶🎵💫✨️💫✨️

van Gogh and Glenn Gould loved the spirit of Japan

My comment was erased from months back. (How humorous) Glenn would have rolled with laughter. Anyway, his heart lives in mine as all who loved him dearly. 🙏♥️🌎🌍🌏🎵🎶🎵🎵💫✨️💫

9:50 m. 21-25 from C# major prelude, WTC 2 BWV 872

'....the last great romantic composer...' , one of the many (thoughtful) remarks in this piece about Richard Strauss and his music.

Gould's penchant for putting the music in the foreground and the voices in the background is as irritating as ever.
