Glenn Gould plays Beethoven in a 1967 radio broadcast

Gorgeous bagatelle!

[@fredericchopin7538]

Magnificent!

Glenn Gould says: "It's precisely that impossible mixture of naivete and sophistication that makes Beethoven the imponderable he is . . ." (GG Reader)

GREATE !! THANK YOU !!

[@marichristian1072]

I love that frothy second movement- even when it moves momentarily into the minor key. What a gift! Thank you Bruce Cross.

Great to hear an alternative interpretation of this sonata by Gould - much steadier tempi - I like it. This, of course, is the mark of a genius - two different views of the same work, equally convincing.

[@Ernesto7608]

Where is a "mark of genius" in this finger exercise? Meanwhile Beethoven must be turning around in his grave...

[@anahitalboyajyan3703]

Genius! Thank you MAESTRO GOULD!!! 🎹🎹🎹

[@임진우-w3f]

Much warmer than his studio recordings...

[@raananeylon4867]

This is Gould at his best, and the "live" recording feel adds the right amount of life. Somewhere may be found the recordings that he made at home in Canada.

[@brozors]

Wow, this is the first time I heard this recording and the variations certainly sounds like Gould but has “live” recording feel compared to the other recordings. It’s a refreshing take and I wish there were more radio recordings that can be released.

If only his imaginary mind could forsee how many human hearts would love him through his beloved music the years to come , he certainly had felt less lonely....If only......

@@ΕΛΙΣΑΒΕΤΧΑΤΖΗΑΛΕΞΙΑΔΗ Glenn feels, I believe.. And he gained the best audience he could never imagine - no noise, just love ❤️

[@kasupjoo]

9:22 this mistake or whatever was so amusing to the point it actually suits the piece’s mood😮

[@leylamariabarquerobendana4721]

Maravillso!!!!!!!

[@arrascaetadora7560]

amo la forma de tocar del pianista.

[@leylamariabarquerobendana4721]

Celestial, maravilloso, divino .

grazie

Bravo, Mr. Gould! Thank you, Mr. Cross. Brilliant, as usual 💎. Could anyone tell me, please, who made this wonderful photosession of Glenn? As amazing as his music.. 💕.

[@charlotterose6724]

Marina, I am quite certain the photos are Jock Carroll's who published a photo book titled "Glenn Gould: Some Portraits of the Artist as a Young Man"

[@arrascaetadora7560]

Y nadie podrá creer pero mi amor a Beethoven nació esperando una garrafa. Terminé escuchando mucho de su obra. Hasta biografias y estudios me leí. Bueno a decir verdad la garrafa llegó antes. Pero ya me tenía enganchada en la espera. Es un tipo homenaje a los repartidores de gas en mi país. Ni idea el por qué ponen esa musiquita de Beethoven en sus camioncitos, carritos.

[@ElkoJohn]

Much obliged.

[@arrascaetadora7560]

Y ni que decir que en el 67 yo contaba con mis 14 añitos. Era fan de la radiotelefonía.

[@arrascaetadora7560]

Medio larga la introducción y más para quien ni ahí entiende. La interpretación al piano lo más. Es formidable.

pourquoi est il parti si vite ???

[@brucecross1164]

Il est mort d'un accident vasculaire cérébral

[@arrascaetadora7560]

Por momentos parece tocara en dos pianos. Pero eso es imposible no? Yo ignorante total en cuestiones así, de arte mismo. Sólo disfrute lo mío.

[@arrascaetadora7560]

Será lo mismo que broscad o cómo se se escriba ahora? Bueno yo qué se. A mí me gustaba mucho la radio.

[@arrascaetadora7560]

Me escuchaba todo.

[@arrascaetadora7560]

ay como tanto inglés? que toque el piano y punto.

[@hl331]

Something is wrong with his s-sounds here.

[@Ernesto7608]

Beethoven played as a finger exercise. Tremendous lack of musical civility. He should have limited himself to playing the music of Bach, which is sufficiently abstract to tolerate this playing.
