"listening to Glenn Gould playing Bach is like listening to a midi recording".
Can you imagine my thoughts when this so called "classical pianist" shared his thoughts on Glenn Gould ? There is no help trying to save such a person xD
-
the thing that's problematic about gould is that he makes you feel like you understand bach, which is kind of dangerous

i only heard of the doc on the man, watching and listening i get the sense he isn't just playing but acting out the music(playing bach has something to do with it to). gotta listen to him play more!

You could hear him hum along with the music...
its amazing..
-
If I was chief of a communist world I would put this as the only music to listen :) !

@MrChumFm unpredictable as in random is a value by itself. Predictable as in thoughtful is also to be valued but I think Gould persued precisely that, as he himself says when talking about justifying what one does in music. One is confident with one's excentricities when those are coherent with the rest of one's self and, thus, can be somehow predicted or explained.

@macrubit No, gods are a product of the imagination.
he's almost frightening with his deliberate intent, his complete commitment to the piece...but the result is beautiful. unmatched.
