Ravishing performance by Glenn Gould. The tympanist is rather fine too.

[@OlyaChka1000]

Whatever mocking Strauss may have meant by this piece, Gould managed to make a real drama out of it, although I am not sure he actually meant it, because he knew the background of course. Every time I listen to this version I love it more and more.

[@Truthasvictim]

I agree Alice. I didn't know anything about this work, or that this video even existed, but I'm mesmerized by the work, and even more, as usual, by Glenn's thoroughly heartfelt interpretation of it. As you might know, Glenn loved Richard and recorded many of his works.

[@bobjones-bt9bh]

agree 100%- i just made effectively the same comment above. You'd never guess the piece was a kind of parody by the earnestness with which Gould plays it

[@neilmedina6096]

The director knew what he was doing. Splendid job. And of course, Glenn is God.

[@ExxylcrothEagle]

This is quite funny as satire. Even though I do respect the piano concerto format. It is quite refreshing to see and hear it being lampooned so well the clever profusely Dicky Strauss

[@johntravena119]

Imagine Gould enjoyed showing his technique in this style while simultaneously lampooning Horowitz & Co.😉

[@gregnyquist7714]

It is actually not in the least surprising that Gould would perform this work. Gould regarded Richard Strauss as "the greatest musical figure who has lived in this century." Unfortunately for Gould, Strauss did not write very many compositions (other than his songs) that use the piano. The Burleske is probably the best of such works. It is actually the first of Strauss works to enter the standard repertoire. Gould's performance here, despite some sensitive playing, is of course too slow. The classic recording of this work is Byron Janis with Fritz Reiner conducting.

[@debs4mysweetbaby]

fantastic!!

[@trblcleft]

I would never have guessed I would find Gould playing strauss Burlesque. Not quite Argerich in this genre but still a rare treat!

[@bobjones-bt9bh]

she blasts through it with her typical rapidity and really gives it its intended parody motif

[@bobjones-bt9bh]

it seems that Gould had a similar sentiment about Liszt and Chopin as Strauss; thus Gould appears to treat this piece quite a bit seriously as opposed to blasting through it. his interpretation is very melancholy and sentimental in a lot of places

[@timothy4664]

Lol Alex Trebek. that voice and delivery is classic

[@Christopher5073]

I believe the Timpanist is John Wyre as a young man.

[@XiaoYuHuang43]

I think Gould was interpreting the piece ironically, but the irony would have come across more acutely had he played the fast sections faster. Nevertheless, the clarity is amazing, and this is fascinating as a historical document.

[@charlotterose6724]

There is no bigger fan of Glenn Gould than me (though many are my equal). However, I cannot for the life of me understand what he sees in this piece of music, lol.

[@ssballs]

Check out Argerich, live. This does sound a little wooden. Been a fan of this work for 50 years. Give it a chance.

[@pianosbloxworld4460]

I think it’s the humor and satire in this piece.

[@vladibaby79]

ok, his playing is a bit strange, but he still was intelligent enough (actually he was a genious) to recognize that it is a masterwork

[@fmoll2509]

Могу с Вами поспорить насчет степени фанатизма 😂. И, надеюсь, за три года Вы уже почувствовали в этой музыке то же, что и Гленн.

[@HerrDocktor23]

In “ The Glenn Gould Reader”. GG writes extensively about Strauss and his position in the progression of music.

[@kraintorent45]

Introducing the performance was a very young and handsome Alex Trebek, who would go on to host one of Television’s most popular game shows, “Jeopardy” for more than 30 years.

Alex trebek was the best, then and later. A splendid memorial to him, too.

This verges on what I'd characterize as the party cd category of performances of any piece.

Hat zwar nicht viel mit dem Stück zu tun... ist aber trotzdem sehr schön. Wenn man nicht wüsste, wie das eigentlich klingt, würde man das genial finden.

[@roberacevedo8232]

[@rudinkonstantin9007]

Mit 1.25-facher Abspielgeschwindigkeit kommt man in etwa zum Tempo von Martha Argerich....

[@leocasella3029]

[@Qee7en]

This is as uncharacteristic for Gould as it is fascinating.

[@adriandurand4531]

Perhaps not so uncharacteristic of him, given his acute sense of parody. Remember his radio and TV programs? And he enjoued Strauss's piano music (he recorded his piano sonata). I'd say here the tempo is a bit too slow However, Gould's playing is supremely clear, articulate and sensitive.

[@ExxylcrothEagle]

Gould was massively into Strauss. I would dare to say that Mozart would be more uncharacteristic. But of course we do know of Glenn's primary obsession with Bach.

[@AndrewRudin]

How odd that at about 8:30 Golschmann removes his glasses.

[@Truthasvictim]

It's all about the fine print Andrew. lol

[@not2tees]

Ah, the good old CBC, before Justin got hold of it.

[@davidspence1404]

Where is their Rachmaninov Fourth Piano Concerto? It could give the Trifonov/Nezet-Seguin a run for the money. For all the wrong reasons.

[@marcap1000]

Magnificent! (The timpanist should have better performed if sit down: far too tall for the instrument, I am afraid)

[@The1976spirit]

Eugen d´Albert and Richard Strauss are very amused

[@ResIntellecta]

Does anyone know the name of the outro song?

[@cromagnonilainen5598]

Der Rosenkavalier by Richard Strauss.

[@davidspence1404]

Neither Christoph Eschenbach nor Manfred Honeck could have saved this by being on the podium for it, even thnogh I am sure both of them might think they could.

[@edhanslick5630]

Stiff! If you want to hear how it should sound, listen to R. Buchbinder (Dohnányi + Wiener Philh.). Glenn sounds here like a typewriter

[@AmyAmy-er8bp]

Asuma dashli da ribi, nervi vidali

[@rudinkonstantin9007]

A simple mathematical equation: You take the tempo from Glenn Gould, you multiple this tempo with 1.25 from the original and add a little bit more temperament and musical esprit: then you have the ingenious interpretation from Martha Argerich with Claudio Abbado !

[@MrKlemps]

No. You'd still have very arthritic timpani playing. The second soloist is crucial to this work

[@MrInterestingthings]

So true. Gould is so different. This could have been better recorded.Ab b ado and Argerich got the spirit better and their recording just sounds right.Fancy is not here like it is in Goulds Bach. I need to hear his Konzertstuck again.

[@bobjones-bt9bh]

kinda. but the piece played with that equation sounds kinda silly, which was its intent. it's not something I'd really go back and listen to. the Argerich version is technically interesting but it really only leaves me with that impression

[@MrInterestingthings]

Serkin Bolet also recorded this. If you hear early Gulda you wonder why his legacy is not as big. He is one of yhe fewGerman pianists w/somethings to say in Chopin.Goulds Chopin might be one of the worst ever! Argerichs film is great as is her ScriabinPrometheus! She really cant be touched.

This is quite good. But, if you're looking for great, astounding, and phenomenal, Martha Argerich kicks his ass up and down the concert stage!

And, then there's Sviatoslav Richter! Listen to his interpretation and you'll see that he, by the same token, "kicks Marta's ass up and down the stage"!

I agree. Contrast this with a performance with Argerich and Abbado, also on You Tube. And enjoy her smile at the tympanist’s last note.

[@enriquebarajas6758]

@@TheSonofFrank We won´t know the original interpretation. Even if one could read a critique on the scherzo of that time, the reviewer would be biased, standing in his current musical period. This Strauss sounds like Prokofiev, ahead of his time. The category of burlesque was a decoy to slip a real avant garde opus into the status quo. Genius.
