Bach Brandenburg Concerto No.5 - Gould - Mishakoff - Tipton - Detroit Symphony - Paray - 1960

[@MrGer2295]

GLENN HERBERT GOULD (September 25, 1932 - October 4, 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. Molto Bello!!! Thank you for sharing this video.

Glenn Gould died in 1982, and hundreds of people discover him every year (of how many pianists can that be said?). He made 80 records and did radio and tv. We are blessed. Also blessed that he loved Bach.

[@Karlcarl]

How wonderful to hear my teacher, Mischakoff performing with Glen Gould. Thanks for putting this radio program up on KZbin.

[@francescaemc2]

wow!!!!! How wonderful for you!!!

[@pgifford]

I remember my parents hearing Gould play with the Detroit Symphony about that time and raving about him. My father was a substitute flutist with the DSO then and a friend of Tipton.

[@francescaemc2]

WOW

[@hnkahl]

Glenn Gould was a unique talent and an indisputable genius of the piano, idiosyncrasies notwithstanding. You have to love this guy. The singing, the conducting, and all of it, that's just Glenn. Would his recordings be better without the singing? I don't know. Maybe the singing helped make his playing sing, maybe it helped him concentrate. Imagine it's you humming along to the music as you listen. I've never understood this shallow criticism of Gould. If your concentration and listening skill is up to the task of understanding the complex nature of Bach's music, certainly you would be able to filter out his occasion vocalizing, which if you do will reveal the incredible playing that is there. He is like no one else. He brings to each piece such a thorough and profound understanding on a theoretical and stylistic level that is never scholarly or pedantic sounding. Everything is clear and precise but never mechanical. We are so fortunate to have an audible record of this one of a kind artist.

[@dthomases1]

About the singing: he did it his entire life as films showing him practicing at home when he was still a young man convincingly demonstrate, his mother apparently taught him to do so in his first early years. Whether it helped him to play better is anyone's guess and an irresolvable question at this point, so why worry about it? Another rather distignuished musician who sang as well during his performances was Arturo Toscanini so it can hardly be labelled a defect.

[@justinpino8115]

One of best comments about Gould ever and I've read a lot. Well put

[@perttirasilainen1142]

Dearest hnkahl, Your writing is very beautiful and right in every respect. This modern world in which we, or many of us, is living now in 2020 and that in Glenn's time - is / was that kind of a place which doesn't allow exceptions. It likes and is somehow based to standards; everything has to be the same like the food & quality in McDonalds. If someone puts everything for that which is his / hers passion, not profession, so that is too much for most of people. And most of people don't even recognize quality; which is good, which is bad. They just follow different kind of guides or 'advices' from so called 'specialists' who tends to have some sort of authority over different things. Like trendsetters. I could say that it is very important to be able to make a difference between theatre and something which is Original. There are many tennis-players who play theatre with their sounds, and there are many pianists who make theatre with their gestures and mimes - like french Helene Grimaud. We all have different taste but those mimes Helene makes suits better for porn-movies and has nothing to do with playing the piano or interpreting music. From Finland with Love, Pertti Rasilainen.

[@perttirasilainen1142]

@@dthomases1 Daniel, actually it wasn't so. But there is connection to Glenn's mother: she asked Glenn why he doesn't sing, Glenn started - and could not stop 👍

MISCHA MISCHAKOFF (born in Proskurov, Ukraine, on April 16, 1895,[1] as Mischa Fischberg, died February 1981[1] in Petoskey, MI) was an outstanding violinist and concertmaster for 70 years, from the age of ten until the age of eighty. Molto Bello!!! Thank you for sharing this video.

[@MrGer2295]

In 1921, he escaped from Russia with, among others, his friend and colleague, cellist Gregor Piatigorsky, with whom he had played in the Bolshoi Theater. Mischakoff emigrated to the United States later that year, becoming a naturalized citizen in 1927. Molto Bello!!! Thank you for sharing this video.

[@SuperMariamalia]

An historical document!! thanks for posting!!!

[@hnkahl]

I love the episode at 4:44-6:03 with all its ingenious sequential repetitions building to a return of the opening theme. This is heavenly writing that makes one feel as if suspended in space and it is of course beautifully played. Mischakoff sounds a bit heavy here but I think it is the fault of the mic placement, which is too close for my taste and gives it more of a studio feel rather than the more spacious sound of a concert hall. That being said, what a great find. As a longtime fan of Gould, the DSO, Paray, and Mischakoff, I say thanks for posting this.

ALBERT TIPTON (1917-1997) was an American flutist, pianist and conductor. In 1966, Time placed Albert Tipton amongst the "30 first-rate flutists" in the United States and Europe. He studied with William Kincaid at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. He served as principal flutist with the National Symphony Orchestra from 1937 to 1939 and toured with Leopold Stokowski as a soloist with the All American Youth Orchestra in 1939. Molto Bello!!!

Gould playing with the Detroit Symphony (1960) -it's a pleasure to hear my mentor Mischa Mishakoff in this

[@nidurnevets]

My father,Leon Rudin, who was a violinist with the NY Philharmonic worked with Mishakoff for four summers, in the 1950s at Chautauqua NY. My father was assistant concertmaster of the orchestra.

[@sanjosemike]

nidurnevets Mr. Rudin, did your father ever play in the Philadelphia Orchestra? I have a feeling that I met him several times, through one of his cousins and a dear friend, Neil. The Philadelphia Orchestra came to Detroit frequently during those years. I remember talking with Mr. Rudin about Hindemith, whom he met several times when the composer was conducting one of his works. I don't mean to intrude, but I had to ask... sanjosemike

[@nidurnevets]

Sanjosemike, As far as I know, he didn't ever play with them. He was hired for the Philharmonic in 1946, and retired in 1979. He was also a pianist, who subbed for the orchestra pianist, from time to time. He did a lot of accompanying of other members of the orchestra, including Stanley Drucker. I know that he admired Hindemith's music, and once performed a very difficult violin concerto by Hindemtih, at, I believe, Town Hall, in NY back in the 1950s. It don't know the name of the work. Was there a Neil Rudin in the Philidelphia? I'm sure there are a lot of relatives I don't know of on his side of the family, and it would be so interesting if he had a cousin named Neil Rudin, who was also a violinist. Thanks for contacting me. Steve Rudin

He became second flutist with the Philadelphia Orchestra in 1940 and left that position in 1946 to become the principal flutist of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra (1946-1956). He was in Detroit from 1956-1968, where he played principal flute in the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. In 1968 he accepted a position at Florida State University as Professor of Flute.

[@fanbladeinstruments]

I have always felt the the timbre of the harpsichord had quite a jarring effect on the listner, particularly during the louder passages where any trace of melody can be reduced to a jangeling percussive mess. This is the first time I've heard this piece played on piano and it's infinitely more welcome in my ears than any harpsichord version.

At the conclusion of the Sibelius 2nd Symphony and in recognition of their professional collaboration, Mischa Mischakoff and his wife Hortense honored Conductor Savola by presenting to him a baton once used by Arturo Toscanini.

[@EliezerPennywhistler]

Some of us are forced to regard the minor humming as more important than the musicality of one of the world's greatest musicians -- those without musical knowledge ... or taste. You are your own worst enemy, and I cannot think of a thing to say, except HAHAHA. The next time you wander a rose garden, beware the pebbles in the path. What a maroon!

[@micheldvorsky]

Where did you get this recording from? Thanks for the upload!

[@RModillo]

Very fine. One stylistic thing that bothers me-- there was a time when people realized that Bach's dotted rhythms didn't have to be exactly 3:1. This was taken as an injunction to overdot, which these guys all do in the last movement. But another solution is to make the 16th note more of a triplet, so it would mesh with what comes underneath. You can still emphasize each entry without making an artificial hiccup. Oh, well. That was 60 years ago, and tastes change.

For some of us familiar with the music, his humming adds a dimension of human presence to accompany his phenomenal musical gifts; so, so much more welcome than the goofs and losers in an audience who save a month's worth of hacking and coughing just for an evening at the symphony. Musical genius such as Gould only happens seldom in a century, if more than once.
