Glenn Gould, live, Salzburg - Sweelink, Organ Fantasy

[polymath7]

Flawless, and bottomlessly profound.

[rdillon73]

99% Gould, 1% Sweelink...

[Sylvain894]

It doesn't sounds as a live performance, we cannot hear applauses or noises of crowd or breathing : but what a piece; as good as the mono 1964 original version !

[Barbapippo]

@Sylvain894 I suppose that one doesn't hear the audience applauding at the end simply because they stayed speechless for a quarter of an hour before recovering from the shock...

[MasterGee17]

A masterpiece

Gould is a genious!

[IpsaPaphum]

Fantastic piece!

[mercoid]

Gould & Sweelinck. This performance is a treasure as great as any painting, sculpture or architectural master piece you can name.

One of the best piano performances of all time. Being a pianofile i have listened to a thousands of piano records but this one gives me goose bumps every time i hear it. Also must hear is his live rendition of Bach's inventions from Moscow - so much different from his studio recordings.

[lucamadeus]

heavenly

Gould's recital in Salzburg was astonishing : Sweelinck, Schoenberg, Mozart and Bach (the first version of Goldberg variations).

The strict and mystical incipit is actually touching. Thanks for posting.

[MaBu888]

Adds a contrast that I despised and now accept...

[voidengineer]

Yep, this music really gets inside a person. You can almost see what the composer saw as he wrote it. Thank God for JS Bach!

[MaBu888]

Thank also Jan Pieterszoon van Sweelinck.

[curzmg]

Sweelinck was a genius, underated. xXx
