  • who has better rythym than classical musicians? You are very sadly mistaken about that. That's why we go to conservatory. And yes he is genius, far beyond his understanding and technical capacities will grant him, there is also an incredible sense of interpretation that noone else can pride themselves with.

  • GLENN S golden Goldbergvariations, the greatest living Bach legend that lasts for ever!

  • 허밍도 좋구 사비시이한 연주도 아름답기만하당 중독

  • 音が悪いのが悲しい

  • @hutianyi2007 Could you please elaborate a bit on that? I'm very interested in Gould's fingering, how he achieved such clarity. What do you notice from this video that is unusual?

  • @0tgtgtgt0 Thanks. I am SO into Bach now. It's funny because for many, many years it was only Chopin, Liszt, and Rachmaninoff for me, but as I get older I find myself going backwards in time to music like this.

  • @jjp009 His instrument of choice was the Lautenwerk. Not sure if he composed the Goldbergs on it though, but yes, no pedal and very little sustain to the plucked strings anyway.

  • "ready when you are"

  • que belleza!!!!!

  • Totally untextbook-style fingering. o(╯□╰)o

  • Does anyone know if this performance had been released as a music CD?

    This performance is neither 1955 nor 1981 recording and I like this one the best!

  • It's interesting how he played Aria so differently as an older man. Much more emotions had come into it.
