Glenn Gould - Bach's Concerto in D Minor, Allegro

[steppinout67]

this guy's a lunatic. in a good way.

[simcha181818]

Glenn's musicianship, artistic integrity, understanding of Bach's music and ability to give it over to us are nothing short of awesome.

[simcha181818]

There are good pianists, there are excellent pianists, and there is Glenn Gould.

[MasterAzunai]

HOLY CRAP THAT PIANO IS LONG!! (and yes it is WAY longer than a concert piano as my piano teacher has one so I know)

[MasterAzunai]

Did Bach write this for piano?

Wow this is incredible all around!!!!

Absolutely INCREDIBLE PIECE, incredible orchestra, and Gould is absolutely DIVINE! BRAVISISSIMO!!!!

[bwv1058]

Bach write it for harpsichord, not for piano. You know harpsichord is sorta same as piano, so....

[simcha181818]

@MasterAzunai I agree, the orchestra and the conductor did an excellent job.

[motipavlove]

what a shiiiiiiiiiiiit orchestra!!!!!

[todds7]

It's Gould ergo five stars -- ipso facto.

Questo video sempre mi ha commosso

[Aldair1001]

Bach is by far the most genius composer in the worlds history . And Glen Gould is THE most excellent Bach pianist, ever.

Or any other instrument I have heard, including violinists, my own instrument.

[salmonroll]

Thanks for posting. Although I prefer the Lenny, this is wonderful, too. The more GG the better!

[gandalfs80]

watch, or listen his recording of this concerto with leonard bernstein.

this one is so good, but with bernstein he is magic, better than that one.

can it be? possible.

yes, b/c, he is glenn gould.

[skybirdnomad]

do you know where I can get the full record/video of the performance with Bernstein? I very much agree with you. That performance has a certain manic intensity to it; the orchestra sounds very heavy and the piano makes me think of this bulky powerfull driving force.

[aimson]

I have the Bernstein recording (from Amazon mp3) and I actually don't like it. I feel he is disrespectful towards Gould and literally drowns him out with that huge orchestra of his. I found Gould's playing to come out far more compelling with other conductors who don't get in his way.

[ppooqqww0011]

thank you for posting this that make Gould alive!

[edgyk8]

Simply wonderful playing,he brings a structural strength to bach and adds his own humanity...
