Glenn Gould plays Orlando Gibbons - Allemande (Italian Ground)

[Malachayas]

Hey, is the theme not the same that Buxtehude used for his variations of "Aria More Palantino"

I never thought a piece of music could be perfect, but this is as close as it gets.

i love this piece

[mercoid]

My immediate reaction to this piece is that it conveys great dignity. Not in a pompous way, but rather with a humble sort of eternal joy, without the bombastic insistence of 19th century music. That's what I love about the music of this era, particularly Gibbons.

Amazing performance, especially because it is so hard to perform all those trills that requires an authentic instrument and not the heavy modern piano. Thanks for uploading.
