This is deeply touching. Gould's humming... I missed it even for that brief moment of not-truly sacrilege near the end! James Rhodes is lovely, so talented and deep, no hint of disingenuousness. Glenn Gould's piano seems delighted to make his acquaintance, as Mr. Gould most certainly would have been.
He can't get enough of the piano. Thanks for the video. Such a pleasure and revelation
Love this. Huge Gould fan, but I had not heard of James Rhodes. Thanks for the introduction. The depths in exploring classical music are so deep. Excellent, self effacing, interviewer. You can tell he is passionate about the music.
He played the piece which Gould played in such a way to upset Lenny Bernstein. Infamous recording.
respect to James
This was a beautiful interview and video, thank you.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching and letting us know!
Beautiful. Needs a million views.
The heart can only bear so much
Thank you for the repeat of this interview on Piano week. His music makes the heart soar.
I always wanted to hear someone explain why Gould was so good very interesting interview.
I am from the U.K and I love Gould.
"Gould for me was my childhood hero."
So this is NOT CD318, the piano we all know from his recordings (except for the last Goldberg Variations which were recorded on a Yamaha).
yeah that piano had "STIENWAY" written on it!
Thank you ! I know what are they trying to pull ? Romance on 3 legs is in NAC !
Beautiful phrasing in the Marcello
You can almost hear Gould spinning in his grave at the thought of someone playing Puccini on his piano. But Rhoades is a good chap and a fine player regardless.
Imagine if was given the chance to sit on "the Chair". Personally, I would give anything just to touch it.
Did Gould own, outright, more than one Steinway? Clearly not CD 318, then what is this? Curious!
Such a funny choice, Brahms' Concerto :-) Gould and Bernstein would be probably pleased ;-)
This is not CD318 it is in the NAC, I don't think. This must be one of the ones he used after his heart was broken with it. Goldberg Variations were recorded on CD318.
It wasn't, actually. The '55 Goldberg was recorded on a Steinway, yes, but one of 4 that was chosen by Gould from the Steinway Hall basement on 57th Street. That was the CD 174, which he didn't have for long. The CD 318 was from Eaton Hall and not yet in Gould's possession. And the '82 Goldberg was recorded on a Yamaha CF II. Recordings like the English Suites and just about everything from the early 60s onwards was indeed recorded on the CD 318.
There's something disingenuous about Tom Power. But, it's wonderful to see and hear James Rhodes.
His piano was like....WHAT?...a baby 1 year old piece?....
Mr Rhodes: Hello piano. Piano: hello. Mr Rhodes: who is better Gould or Gulda? Piano: Gulda. Mr Rhodes: but you are Gould's piano! Piano: actually I am not, nor have I ever been - people pretend pianos were owned by either famous pianists or famous composers when they were not at all. It's very common. It makes them a bit of money and gives the owner a certain prestige. Mr Rhodes: oh, I see...
What is the last song played in this interview? lovely
Paula Nelson Partita 1 BWV 825
O Mio Babbino Caro by Puccini
@@lovemovement8808 hahahahaaa
is this 318?
No. I suspect that is what Tom Power was trying to distract Rhodes from at the beginning of the video. It is one of Gould's practice pianos. I'm trying to figure out which one.
Kissin! You mean Sokolov.
with enough practice he'll be as good as glenn! xd
dont really like this interviewers vibe
When he first sits down and plays a bit. What is that? sounded a bit lit Rachmaninoff. Or is it improv?
Brahms
Brahms first D Minor Piano Concerto. The first movement is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever created. Brahms got hissed if the stage when he debuted it in Leipzig. I️ would love to hear Rhodes perform the entire thing.
