Gould's penchant for putting the music in the foreground and the voices in the background is as irritating as ever.

Wonderful!❤

I'm glad to hear him give credit to Guerrero here. I think they were pretty close during his studies--visits to the lake house, etc.

Thank you for editing the captions on this one. It helped me keep up better. Some nice interviews in this one.

grazie

💖🎹💖

I love this snippet! Does the rest of the programme exist?

“ the lectures of Schnabel were biblical to me.”

Does anybody know if Glenn ever mentioned the St. Matthew passion?

R.I.P: Glenn Gould.I'm now 58 and we're writing the year 2024. That's how long it took when I started studying the Goldberg- variations for myself. You set the unreachable standard of how Bach should sound.

Where in the heck did you get this? I don't know how you do it. You have Gould stuff that nobody else has. Thanks.

Absurdly slow. Doesn't make it more profound, turns it into a caricature.

Much obliged.

Much obliged.

Much obliged.

Sounds like two people reading a script, but interesting nonetheless.

Thank you so much for the answer! - Now I more hardlier (my english is so bad!) can't wait to get an affordable issue of the Bernstein Symphony-Edition again (last one lost ....)! - I always liked the Karajan-Recording on EMI (there are two, one of it is much better), even so i've never liked HvK.

Finally seen the last part. What a great portrait! - Thank You, Bruce! - Does anyone know whose recording of Sibelius 5, shortly before the end, this is?

Imagine having a dinner Glenn Gould and Bobby Fischer. That's my time-machine wish.

A cultist market set ?

Amazing reflection of his ife. I first saw him in July 1963 at Bloor and Bedford in Toronto Annex area by U of T where he went for morning coffee,,,, a drug store cafe mix place... as he entered the place he had extended hands in front of him with his fingers wiggling as in the video...

in conversations about "the greatest," remember that there were all-time greats who avoided playing Bach at all because of Glenn Gould. There is to my knowledge nobody who ever steered clear of an entire genre because for example, "Horowitz already did it," or told a fan that the reason they don't record a composer is "just go listen to Argerich/Cortot/Schnabel/Richter/etc." With Gould that is the case even for multiple pianists who are among the best ever.

I sat beside him on a bench in Toronto several years ago : I listen in wonder at his playing daily : thank you Glen Gould…

Thank you for this!

Je prefere Gould - Toledo que Gould - Menuhin. Gould avait aussi tant d humour ! Je ne comprends pas qu un tel homme, si brillant, si beau dans sa jeunessd n est pas ete aimé vraiment par une femme. Si seul il etait.

It's very touching to hear Glenn Gould talk about his art. But it's embarrassing to hear the journalist, at the end, push the pianist to tell him an anecdote that could create a buzz...Gould had so much to say about music rather than this gossip

So, the Eaton's Department store ad near the beginning was put in there by Glenn as a joke, right? Sometime (not here), check out Jaime Laredo describing walking through Eaton's to get to Glenn's recording studio on the 7th floor. It's a hoot.

Ironically enough, the second entry of the subject is technically incorrect; the contour of the subject is: pitch 1, up a P5, down an M3, scalewise up a P4, scalewise down a Dim5. Here the 2nd entry of the subject goes pitch 1, up a P4, down an m3, etc. Harmonically it’s still functional and sounds fine, but…not a fugue.

This is Beethoven's most beautiful piano composition, with the 2nd movement of op. 111 in a close 2nd.

grazie di nuovo

None other like Mr. Gould, love to hear him singing in this recording!

Wonderful.

So clean! Thanks for uploading.

Come rendere meccanico ciò che è leggero e poetico. 🤔

i only wish he could ve put himself to get a more healthy chair....maybe he would ve lived longer?

i think the first piano he tried sounded to rounded, muffled, the second one was very clear, if not sharp edged

Glenn gould played beautifully on Beethoven's music as well.🎉🎉

grazie

Beautiful

Anyone who has read the Glenn Gould Reader knows that he was careful in his use of the word “love” and therefore how high of a compliment he paid to early Mozart in this interview. And yet the libelous claim that he “hated” Mozart is repeated over and over.

grazie!!!!

Colossal post....Quintessential Gould.....Never heard this before.....BRAVO from Mexico City!

Lovely playing. It Shows a deep understanding of these enigmatic pieces.

Thanks Bruce Used to have this on LP back in the 80's. I have the impression that Gould liked these pieces and thusly played them honestly, unlike some other of his Beethoven recordings.

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.

I, too, have largely withdrawn from the human world due to its cruelty & lack of logic … I laugh in sympathy, so that I may not weep … ❤

17:10 trio

Does anyone know what music is playing around 26:05 in the background? Is it one of her own compositions, and is it available anywhere?

Putting ads during this performance is a crime

As someone with poor circulation, I really *feel* that story about the scarf …
