Glenn Gould - Debussy, Première Rhapsodie (OFFICIAL)

[@satosmi9408]

GG's lack of interest of Debussy aside, the piece choice was quite good. The Rhapsodie, written in the middle of Debussy's most mature and lush period, ingeniously incorporates many of his music inventions and showcases the wondrous Debussian inner world that few would venture into.

Glenn's playing is a delight......you would never know he wasnt a great Debussy exponent. Thanks for posting this gem

[@CarlBowlby]

It seems to me that French in particular enjoyed the clarinet. Saint-Saens, etc. And they use it to good effect like in this Rhapsodie by Debussy. Both Gould and the clarinetist play extremely well together....consummate professionals. I had never heard this piece before. Extraordinary!

[@MethenySco]

Just had a masterclass. Thanks Glenn.

[@JCTjia]

I love Debussy. I am grateful Gould played this one. ❤️

So tender and joyful, bravo, bravissimo! European Canadians united by Debussy's music, genial happiness! Thank you so much for sharing!🌹💖🌐🎼👌😊

Meraviglioso ,grazie Gould .Ricordando il centinario della morta di Debussy.

[@not2tees]

"And for many years, Debussy's favorite response to the prevailing post-Romantic harmonic principles of German music, which was built on extensions of the common triad, was indeed the whole-tone scale and chords constructed from it. He didn't use it with the persistence, with the fanaticism really, with which Scriabin devoted himself to his 'magic chord,' but it's there and it's one of the factors that gives much of Debussy's music, especially pieces like the Clarinet Rhapsody which James Campbell is going to play now, its deceptively rhapsodic and informal profile . . . " Yes, Glenn. As CBC radio said on the day they announced his death, "we shall not see his like again." (Shakespeare)

A gem to the whole humankind.

Very good channel, for me Gould is great inspiration, and I'm very happy that can find a lot of Gould in this channel

[@PianoAngelicus]

he's a total inspiration 💜💜

[@darylgolden1481]

Wow! what a find

[@stapler942]

It's weird hearing Scriabin's chord referred to as the "magic chord" since the usual rendering "mystic chord" conveys its otherworldliness and ambiguity much better.

[@alexsoteros2545]

James Campbell is a Canadian/American clarinetist

[@joachimakerlind4453]

Ok. Not in tune. He is high all the way through the piece. A bad clarinetist in other words. A very thin sound. He does not make Music at all. Sorry.

[@tarakb7606]

Great video !!

[@convergency1068]

It's so so good!!

[@joejoesguitarinventions]

Great find!!

[@onductorsilence6874]

Спасибо!

[@ProfDrislane]

Now that audio separation technology is getting rather good (see "Now and Then" by the Beatles), we can separate the clarinet and piano, and pitch correct the former..

[@Twentythousandlps]

Gould was not partial to Debussy - this is the only thing of his he played.

[@IgnacioClerici-mp5cy]

what do itou mean parcial;?

[@s1nd3rr0z3]

Ignacio Lago he didn’t like him very much

[@raminagrobis6112]

I was expecting Gould to dislike Debussy: not cerebral enough for his style and to his own liking.

[@satosmi9408]

@@raminagrobis6112 Just as a side note, even Ravel whom GG admires a lot believes music should be "emotional first and then intellectual".

Gould would sometimes deliberately sabotage certain pieces if he didn't like them or the composer as though mocking them as he played. I could see him working with this clarinetist for that's sole purpose.

[@joachimakerlind4453]

Not a good clarinetist - sorry. He is to high all the way through the piece! Why???? No sound no overtones bad technique ! He doesn’t make Music at anny point - sorry . Why did Gould play with him? Enigma

[@joeenglert]

don't like the clarinetist too much...although I will say at least he doesn't prance and dance around with all those phony movements that don't mean anything cuz this is a pre stoltzman performance

[@secretmission7607]

Can't listen to this. Clarinet is not in tune with the piano.

[@zorbanongreco]

hmm, I think Gould would have noticed that.🐂💨💨💨💨

[@אהרוןאשכנזי-ס5מ]

Nonsense

[@secretmission7607]

@@zorbanongreco It doesn't matter whether he did or he didn't. I can hear this very clearly. Can you not?

[@zorbanongreco]

@@secretmission7607 no , it's just you 😂🐂💨💨💨💨

[@secretmission7607]

@@zorbanongreco It's really obvious to me! I just dipped in at 3.27 and the first note I heard (C#/Db) was clearly sharp against the piano. The issue is somewhat disguised because the clarinet is quite prominent, so many listeners will tend to naturally take the clarinet's tuning reference as THE tuning reference rather than 'locking in' with where the piano is, pitch-wise. Generally the clarinet is on the sharp side.

[@mithrandir2006]

I guess it sounds like a generic note played over and over again...
