J. S. Bach - Keyboard Concerto No. 1 in d minor BWV 1052 (Glenn Gould, Live in Leningrad, 1957)

30 июля 2024 года. Столько в мире плохого происходит.. А эта музыка - очищение, надежда на счастье, на христианские ценности. Пусть Вселенная нас простит.

Maybe 50, 60 years ago I was lucky to see him perform. I was near the stage, and when he was taking his bow in response to the thunderous applause, I could see the agonized expression on his face. He loved performing but public appearances apparently were like torture. It made you want to hug him, to console him. He seemed so vulnerable. I still have some 78 rpm's of his recorded performances. And, yes, while playing, you could hear him humming.

[@glenngouldification]

I saw him in one of his last performances at the Stratford Festival in Ontario where he was the music director for several years in the 60’s. I was only 7 at the time but I can remember how totally relaxed he was playing some solo works and accompanying a singer (believe was Lois Marshall). His legs were crossed and he was as always immersed totally in the music, playing everything including accompaniment from memory He often complained about public performance but the fact that his recorded public performances are so outstanding attests to his total focus and devotion to the music at hand. In an interview he speaks of playing an awful piano in Israel. A piano so terrible and out of tune that he resorted to imagining playing his beloved apartment Chickering piano during the live performance. He said it worked. Honestly he was right about public performance. While I have hazy recollections of him at Stratford, I have countless hours of his playing ready to hear anytime. Thank God for his recordings. Long may he live through them !

3.25-3.32 я здесь всегда плачу ! Здесь Бах и Глен Гульд говорят от имени БОГА шепотом, так кротко и нежно : Я ЗДЕСЬ, МОЙ СЫН , Я ЗДЕСЬ, МОЯ ДОЧЬ , Я ВСЕ ОТДАЛ ВАМ, А ВЫ ИДЁТЕ ПРОЧЬ ! Я СОЗДАЛ ВАМ РАЙ, Я ХОТЕЛ ВАМ ПОМОЧЬ ; я плачу

[@alisalegato]

Глен Гульд убеждает в реальности рая ...

Forgot how wonderful this recording is ... magnificent playing, & the recording quality is great for the 1950s. Will add it to my present trilogy of the greatest Bach recordings: Alicia de Larrocha's 2nd English Suite (that Prelude!), Julian Bream's e minor lute suite (on guitar), and Igor Zhukov's transcription of the Passacaglia & Fugue in c minor (probably my favourite of them all). This music kind of justifies the existence of the human race.

This is the true Bach music playing.

[@СветланаГаврилова-з9б]

Два гения, композитор И. С. БАХ и исполнитель Глен Гульд. Волшебство и наслаждение!!!

[@marichristian1072]

A thrilling performance- perhaps his best of the BWV1052.

[@vlevich24]

Such a perfect performance! The one more to my favourites.

[@jacquelinebaxter4750]

The tempo is perfect. This is his best performance of the concerto #1. I would love to have this recording.

[@davidshengelia4798]

Here he`s playing even more deep, more profound, I suppose. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eImTenxsrL-jptU

All Russian women who were watching that performance are now simping for Glenn. Not just women, everybody I mean.

[@glenngouldification]

It was an era for “simping” ! It’s a shame we no longer simp.

[@PointyTailofSatan]

Pretty good recording, considering microphones were powered by coal in the USSR.

[@vuvietdung1996]

If u want to give a compliment, just do it, not too hard, especially when it comes to GG n JSB. Why add too much nonsense?

[@glenngouldification]

@@vuvietdung1996 Have to acknowledge the quality of Russian coal. For too long it has gone unnoticed and unheralded. The time for Russian quality coal recognition has finally arrived.

[@vuvietdung1996]

@@glenngouldification Sacrastic much?

[@joaobarbosa6262]

Dar Mr. Tail of Satan: Yeah, this may be true, Mr. Tail. But somebody could point to you that those coal microphones have been used to record music from Tchaikovsky, Rimski-Korsakov, Mussorgsky, Prokofiev, Stravinsky, Shostakovich, etc., etc... Meanwhile, your microphones - certainly much more up-to-date - had to content themselves with a much more meager diet of... of... of whom? Copland, E, Carter, the poor Bernstein, rock... and... and... rap! Well, Mr. Pointy Tail, you must confess that those miserly coal microphones were served much better food than that offered by your scanty musical North-American menu.
