Glenn Gould plays Georges Bizet Variations Chromatiques de Concert (a)

[CaptainBluebear08]

Tremendous how GG played this style of music as well... Roundabout 1970 there was a kind of hype around the "rare romantics". This was part of Glenn's reaction to it, along with his Grieg record, the Wagner and Beethoven/Liszt transcriptions.

Thanks.

Great piece. Very chromatic indeed. Sounds like later music of Cesar Franck.

@iamalittlespy Great piece, indeed. There are also traces of Schumann's intimate pianism and the flattering flair of french musicians like Gounod.
