Glenn Gould - Beethoven, Concerto No. 5 in E-flat major op.73 "Emperor" - Part 2 (OFFICIAL)

[@AIainMConnachie]

The beatification of music. The most beautiful ever written for piano. And Gould carefully observes the anointed muses as they dance around his head

[@anyotherbizniz]

I'm lying on my bed, recovering from chemotherapy, listening to this. I just cried the whole way through the adagio. Gould's unbelievable playing of this beautiful piece lifted me to spiritual and emotional places that left me drained. Music is truly God's gift when it can provide such profound experiences.

When I was in chemo I was consumed by worries and fears. I thought of little else. A friend/colleague insisted on visiting and brought homemade sweets and piano duets, Schubert and PDQ Bach among them. She opened up my grand piano, we sat down and sight read music, laughed, hugged and played more. I swear my healing started that day. Music is a powerful agent for the heart and mind. the best to you, keep music in your soul and you'll do fine.

[@trs4437]

The CBC, the Canadian public broadcaster, worked with Gould for years and much of what we can see of him is CBC produced. A gratuitous tidbit but one I marvel at is the fact that arts funding in Canada really took off in the 1950s after the recommendation of Massey Commission (1951). Some critics knocked the commission and its recommendations for cultural snobbery and focus on “high” art, which is not unfounded. BUT within a few short years we got Gould, one of the greatest pianists and most remarkable artists of the twentieth century.

[@meself349]

The psychopharmacologists ('psychiatrists') did him in, just as they have destroyed so many other creative geniuses because they did not understand those on the autistic spectrum and chose to label them "mentally ill"....instead of comprehending their amazing, almost supernatural gifts..in their utter stupidity and greed 💰💉💊. How many more will they destroy in years to come?

Non avevo mai sentito parlare di Glenn Gould fino a una sera di luglio dell'anno scorso,quando per caso guardai questo video...santo cielo!,quelle note erano limpide come l' acqua di un ruscello,una delicatezza e dolcezza uniche,divina la melodia...Passai l'intera notte(e chi poteva più dormire??) ad ascoltarlo,col cuore che batteva e un nodo nello stomaco, commossa ed emozionata e come attratta da qualcosa di misterioso.Non avevo mai sentito suonare a quel modo: completamente rapita! Un colpo di fulmine. Così è nato il mio amore per Glenn Gould. Da quella notte non ho mai smesso di ascoltare la sua musica.Questa esecuzione del concerto di Beethoven è per me una delle cose più belle di questo mondo! Grazie Beethoven.Grazie Glenn❤

[@fmoll2509]

И я впервые узнала о Гленне Гульде, случайно увидев на ютубе эту запись в январе 2023 года, в день рождества. Это потрясение! Шок. Да, и любовь с первого взгляда, с первой ноты❤. С тех пор Гленн и его музыка всегда со мной, мы не расстаемся. Всегда слушала и любила классику, но музыка Гленна - это нечто особенное, уникальное, высшее. Никто, никто даже близко к нему не приблизился. Счастье слышать эту музыку. Карела Анчерла я тоже узнала и полюбила благодаря этому непревзойденному концерту - Господь сохранил его для этого шедевра. Удивительно! А многие люди живут и не знают это чудо, и не узнают, оставаясь обделенными. Мы счастливчики.

He was such a talented young man.

Of course his amazing talent took him to many parts of the world where his playing was enjoyed by all. His spirit touched all those that were able to see him perform, and it lives on through his amazing performances. Such an interesting man with a very unique life style.

I read somewhere that Glenn Gould was a substitute for Paolini who played a concert night before and scheduled to record Beethoven #5 the morning after. I don’t remember why but Paolini canceled the recording suddenly. Very fortunately Glenn Gould was in town (Toronto). The CBC called him in the middle of the night (I think about 3am) and asked, (begged,more like) him to do the recording. His initial answer was that he hadn’t played the concerto for many years and also he is not too fond of #5 so he will think about it and an hour later he said “okay ,I will do it” . He showed up 9am in the morning and played! Just incredible!

As a classical music lover for over 60 years I was not familiar with Beethoven’s 5th piano concerto until watching the movie “Immortal Beloved” some 20 years ago and immediately fell in love with it. I was also a Glenn Gould fan, and though famous for his Bach recordings, I saw this performance on Utube and the perfect alliance of Beethoven and Gould was formed! I just wish Gould hadn’t stopped performing for live audiences as he is genius to watch. If you’re interested in learning more about Gould seek out the documentary “Glenn Gould...the Genius Within.”
